Oh my goodness, it is the holiday season! I have been busy baking up a storm, especially with holiday cookies! But I have also been busy baking scones!

What are eggnog scones?

During the holidays, we have eggnog in our fridge.  My daughter and my husband love drinking it and adding it to their coffee.  I decided to add it to these scones. The flavor is all eggnog – nutmeg and cinnamon! Eggnog is added to the dough and added to the sweet drizzle. 

I decided to make these eggnog scones right after Thanksgiving. I love to make scones and I have several scone recipes – raspberry scones, cranberry scones, strawberry scones, and pumpkin scones.  For these eggnog scones, I replaced the cream with eggnog. I also added a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg.

What ingredients do I need to make eggnog scones?

• Flour
• Sugar
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Nutmeg
• Cinnamon
• Eggnog
• Powdered sugar (for glaze)

Tips for Making Scones in the Food Processor

• Place all dry ingredients in food processor – pulse until mixed.
• Use cold butter cut into small 1/4 inch cubes.
• Add butter to food processor and mix for 5- 7 seconds.
• Add liquid – mix until dough begins to form together.
• Dump dough and any dry mixture onto a counter. Lightly knead any remaining flour into dough.

Tips for Making Scones by Hand

• Place all dry ingredients into a bowl – mix.
• Use cold butter cut into small 1/4 inch cubes.
• Add butter to dry mixture. Use you hands to incorporate butter into the flour. I  use my fingers to smear the butter and flour mixture together.
• Add liquid and mix just until dough comes together.
• Dump dough and any dry mixture onto a counter. Lightly knead any remaining flour into dough.

How long will these scones keep?

Scones are best eaten within two days of baking.
