Ingredients:

SCONES

Parchment paper

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

6 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small pieces

3/4 cup Pumpkin Spice or Gingerbread Latte Flavor NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE Liquid Coffee Creamer

1 tablespoon grated orange peel or 1/2 teaspoon orange extract

ICING

3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar

2 tablespoons Pumpkin Spice or Gingerbread Latte Flavor NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE Liquid Coffee Creamer

1 teaspoon grated orange peel or 1/4 teaspoon orange extract

Directions:

PREHEAT oven to 425° F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. FOR SCONES: COMBINE flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt and cloves in large mixer bowl or food processor bowl. Add butter; mix on low speed or process until mixture forms large, coarse crumbs the size of peas. Add Coffee-mate and orange peel; mix or process for a few more seconds just until moistened. TURN the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and press together gently until the dough clings together in a ball. Pat into a circle about 3/4-inch thick and 6 inches in diameter. Cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. BAKE for 15 minutes or until golden on top. FOR ICING: COMBINE powdered sugar, Coffee-mate and orange peel in small bowl; stir until smooth. Drizzle over warm scones. Scones are best served warm but will hold for up to 2 days if stored in an airtight container. NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE Holiday Flavors are available late September through early January each year.
