Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, oats, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Cut in the chilled margarine using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg whites, and molasses. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently knead 5-7 times, just until it comes together. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Pat the dough into a circle about 3/4-inch thick. Use a round biscuit cutter (or a sharp knife) to cut out scones. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Place the scones onto an ungreased baking sheet. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (10 minutes)

10

Step

While the scones are baking, prepare the Lemon Breakfast Cream: In a blender or food processor, combine the ricotta cheese and thawed lemonade concentrate. Blend until smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)

11

Step

Serve the warm gingerbread scones with a generous dollop of the Lemon Breakfast Cream. Enjoy immediately! (2 minutes)

For extra flavor, toast the oats lightly before adding them to the dry ingredients.
If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the scones into squares or triangles.
For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of margarine.
The Lemon Breakfast Cream can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
