Coffee and hazelnut are two strong and complementary flavors that are often combined in baking. Coffee's slight bitterness perfectly offsets the sweetness of hazelnuts, creating a rich and complex flavor profile. Scones are a classic breakfast pastry that can be made with a variety of flavors, and coffee hazelnut scones are a delicious and easy way to enjoy this flavor combination. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a batch of these scones fresh out of the oven and ready to enjoy.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put hazelnuts in a baking pan with sides and bake for 15-20 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice, until the skins split and the nuts are lightly browned.
- Pour the nuts into a dish towel; gather the towel around the nuts and rub them hard through the towel for a minute or so to loosen the skins.
- Pick out the nuts and coarsely chop in a food processor or by hand with a chef's knife.
- Turn oven up to 425 degrees F.
- While the nuts are toasting, measure milk and stir in the instant coffee.
- Put flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl; stir to mix well.
- Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender or rub in with your fingers until the mixture looks like fine granules.
- Add sugar and hazelnuts; toss to distribute evenly.
- Stir milk mixture; pour into the bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of dough and place about 2-inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake about 15 minutes or until the dough colors but does not get dark brown.
- Put scones on a dish towel on a wire rack; cover loosely with the cloth and let cool 1 to 2 hours before serving.

Tips:
- Prepare your ingredients and tools in advance: Having all your ingredients measured and your tools ready will make the baking process smoother and more efficient.
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in better-tasting scones.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Don't substitute ingredients or alter the measurements unless you know what you're doing. Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the scones rise better and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the scones at a high temperature: This will help them rise quickly and give them a crispy exterior.
- Serve the scones warm: Freshly baked scones are best served warm, with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
