Gingersnap Scones With Espresso Glaze - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup gingersnap crumbs, finely crushed (about 6 cookies)
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup chilled stick margarine, in small pieces
    1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
    1 large egg, lightly beaten
    cooking spray
    1 tablespoon hot water
    1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
    3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
    10 walnut halves
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    Combine the first 6 ingredients in a bowl; cut in margarine with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
    Add buttermilk and egg, stirring just until moist (dough will be sticky).
    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; with floured hands, knead lightly 4 times.
    Pat dough into a 10-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
    Cut dough into 10 wedges, cutting into, but not through, dough.
    Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes or until golden.
    Combine hot water and coffee granules in a medium bowl; stir well.
    Add powdered sugar; stir well.
    Drizzle over scones.
    Cut into 10 wedges; top each with 1 walnut half.
