Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.

In medium bowl, stir buttermilk, coffee powder, vanilla and egg yolk with whisk. Stir into flour mixture just until soft dough forms.
• On floured surface, press or roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with floured 3-inch round cutter. On cookie sheet, place rounds 1 inch apart. Brush dough with milk; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

COFFEE SHOP PUMPKIN SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Mix flour, white sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger together in a large bowl; cut in butter and shortening using a pastry cutter or 2 knives until mixture is crumbly.
• Mix pumpkin, egg, and half-and-half together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture just until combined. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and shape into a 1/2-inch-thick square. Cut dough into pizza-like wedges and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer scones to a wire rack to cool.
• Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl; drizzle over scones.

CHOCOLATE COFFEE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, espresso powder, baking powder and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like damp sand with some larger pea-sized pieces of butter throughout.
• Make a well in the center of the flour and butter mixture. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the chopped espresso beans, if using, for garnish and sprinkle the remainder around the edge of the flour well. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, egg and vanilla. Pour the liquid ingredients into the well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the melted chocolate. Stir just until all the ingredients are moistened and dough begins to come together; it's okay if the mixture has some light and dark streaks. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently pat it together into a round about 7 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal triangular slices. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top of the dough and press gently to adhere.
• Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the scones are slightly firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into one comes out clean (a few small crumbs clinging to the toothpick are okay), 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, for serving, beat the mascarpone, granulated sugar and heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Serve the scones with a dollop of the mascarpone cream and a sprinkle of reserved espresso beans.

SWEET COFFEE HOUSE SCONES II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Mix flour (start with 3 cups), baking powder, salt, sugar and brown sugar, until well incorporated.
• Cut the butter into tiny pieces and mix into the flour mixture (you can also use a food processor for this step). Keep cutting in the butter until you incorporate the butter into the flour and it looks like it's the consistency of cornmeal.
• Add the milk, sour cream and vanilla extract, and mix to form a dough. If dough is too wet to work with, add a little more flour till you have a moist dough, but it's workable. Add your mix ins and mix till well distributed. If you have a wet mix in like blueberries, you may need to add a little more flour.
• Cut dough in two (or cut in two before adding the mixins if you want two flavors) and shape into 2 rounds, 1/2 inch thick. Baste the top with a little milk and then sprinkle with sugar. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Separate slightly to help them cook. Cook for approximately 17 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through in the middle.
