Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 cup skim milk
• 0.5 cup cold butter
• 0.25 cup fancy molasses
• 0.5 tablespoon raw sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes.

Step 3

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves in a large bowl; mix well. Use a fork or a pastry cutter to cut butter into the flour mixture. Pour in milk and molasses and stir until all of the flour has been absorbed.

Step 4

Place dough onto the prepared baking sheet and use your hands to shape it into a 3/4-inch thick, 8-inch round disk. Sprinkle raw sugar over the top and cut into 8 wedges.
