CRANBERRY EGGNOG SCONES



Cranberry Eggnog Scones image

I like making these eggnog scones for my coworkers the week before we all take off for the year and shut down the office. I also bring in a carton of eggnog to be used as creamer in our coffee. They love the little extra treat!

Time 40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup eggnog
1 tablespoon coarse sparkling sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large mixing bowl. Cut in butter until mixture looks crumbly. Mix in cranberries, pecans, and orange zest until evenly distributed. Stir in eggnog.
  • Turn dough out on a well floured surface and cut into 2 pieces. Keep sprinkling on flour if needed. Form each piece into a disk and gently pat each disk into a round about 6 inches in diameter. Sprinkle each disk with coarse sparkling sugar. Cut each round into 8 wedges using a bench scraper or sharp knife. Cut straight down through the dough so you shear the edges; this helps the scones rise. Don't separate the wedges.
  • Transfer dough circles to the prepared baking sheet. Separate the wedges slightly; there should be about 1 inch between the wider edges.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until scones are just beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Cranberry Eggnog Cornbread Scones image

This is probably one of the best scone recipes I've made. The texture is nice and the taste is excellent. They have just a hint of eggnog, so even those who aren't big fans of the drink will like them.

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cornmeal
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup butter, chilled
¾ cup craisins (sweetened, dried cranberries)
⅔ cup eggnog

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Stir the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl until blended. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until coarse crumbs form. Mix in the craisins. Use a fork to stir in the eggnog and make a sticky dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; dip hands in flour and knead the dough about 10 times. Pat the dough out into a disk about 1/2 inch thick. Dip a 2 inch diameter biscuit cutter into some flour, and cut out 8 to 10 rounds. Place rounds about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Use up remaining dough by patting it into a smaller disk and cutting again.
  • Bake in preheated oven until risen and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
