  1. Preheat the oven to 250�C.
  2. Mix the instant coffee with two tablespoons of boiling water and leave to cool.
  3. Sieve the flour, salt and baking powder into a large, wide bowl.
  4. Add the butter and rub in lightly, using your thumb and fingertips, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in the sugar and walnuts. Make a well in the centre.
  6. Whisk the eggs and cooked coffee with the milk.
  7. Add to the dry ingredients and mix to a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured board.
  8. Lightly shape into a round.
  9. Roll out to about 2.5 cm thick and stamp into scones with a 2 cm cutter, or cut into wedges.
  10. Put onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 mins until golden brown on top. Cool on a wire rack.
  11. When the scones are cool, make the coffee icing.
  12. Mix the coffee with 2 tbsps of boiling water.
  13. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl, add the coffee and stir in enough boiling water to make a mix with the consistency of thick cream.
