Eggnog Scones

Eggnog

Do you like eggnog? Then you will love these eggnog scones.   These scones have eggnog added to the dough and added to the glaze.

During the holiday season I tend to bake up a storm. I have been baking my favorite holiday cookies including raspberry bow tie cookies, cranberry swirl cookies and Christmas sugar cookies.

I've also been baking holiday breads and scones. These eggnog scones are filled with eggnog and cinnamon and nutmeg. They are a favorite in our household this time of the year.

During the holidays, we often have eggnog in our refrigerator. We like to add it to our coffee in the morning. Because eggnog has so much flavor, I've started using in baking recipes. I've added it to these scones and I've added it in a cranberry coffee cake!

Tips for Making Scones in the Food Processor

  • Place all dry ingredients in food processor - pulse until mixed.
  • Use cold butter cut into small ¼ 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 ¼ 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.

    These are AMAZING. I baked a bunch as gifts for family as well as to enjoy with some coffee on Christmas morning. They're so tender and had just the right amount of nog flavour for my liking. I'm so glad I found this recipe and this site. I'm back looking for more baking recipes!

    Tastes really good but as a cinnamon scone - really couldn't taste the eggnog at all, unfortunately.

    I'm a huge eggnog fan, so I know I would be all over these scones! And, yes, I also love baking during the holidays. (I love baking all year long, but the holidays makes it more special.) I'll have to pick up a bottle of nog (our first of the season!) to make these scones. These would be perfect for Christmas morning breakfast!
