SPICED GLAZE RECIPES

Steps:

• Make cake: Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Stir together dry ingredients. With an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and both sugars until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
• Reduce mixer speed and add dry ingredients to butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with soup.
• Scrape batter into pan. Bake until a tester inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto rack and cool completely, about 2 hours.
• Make glaze: Stir together confectioners' sugar, milk and cinnamon until smooth. Spoon glaze over cake.

Steps:

• Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly four times with floured hands.
• Form dough into an 9-inch circle onto baking sheet, about 3/4" thick. Using a knife, cut dough into 12 wedges all the way through.
• Bake until golden, about 18-20 minutes, depending on your oven.
• Place on a cooling rack about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, to make the glaze: Mix powdered sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg with 2 tbsp of milk, adding 1/2 tbsp more (1 tsp at a time) if necessary to get the consistency to the right thickness. Stir until completely smooth.
• Place scones on parchment or wax paper and drizzle the glaze over the scones using a spoon - or- place the glaze in a shallow bowl and dip the top of the scones into the glaze, then let it sit on the waxed paper to harden. Makes 12 scones.
