Step 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2: Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 3: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Step 4: Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 5: In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, milk, and 1 tbsp. instant coffee.
Step 6: Add to dry ingredients, mixing until just blended.
Step 7: Stir in hazelnuts.
Step 8: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 5-6 times, but not too much or it makes the dough tough.
Step 9: Cut the dough into three parts; cut each part into fourths.
Step 10: Pat each part into a patty or roll and place on baking sheet.
Step 11: Bake at 425 degrees F. for 10-12 minutes or until light golden.
Step 12: Remove from baking sheet and cool on wire rack.
Step 13: Prepare glaze by mixing 1 tbsp. water with 1/4 tsp. instant coffee; add 1/2 cup powdered sugar, stirring until well blended.
Step 14: Drizzle over scones with a spoon, adjusting consistency, if necessary, with a little water or more sugar.
