Homemade Eggnog Scones are perfect for breakfast or for a snack during the holidays!

Do you like eggnog? Then you will love these Eggnog Scones! 

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

I decided to make these 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.

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.
