CRANBERRY EGGNOG CORNBREAD SCONES



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.

CRANBERRY EGGNOG CORNBREAD SCONES



Cranberry Eggnog Cornbread Scones image

I found this recipe at Allrecipes. This is an unusual combination, that I wanted to try. I haven't even made scones before, but would like to do so. Some reviewers said the eggnog taste was subtle. So, I have given some optional add ins, for more flavor.

2 cup(s) all-purpose flour or unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup(s) cornmeal
1/3 cup(s) white sugar
1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/3 cup(s) butter, chilled
3/4 cup(s) sweetened dried cranberries
2/3 cup(s) eggnog
OPTIONAL ADD INS
1/8-1/4 teaspoon(s) rum extract or flavoring
1/8-1/4 - ground nutmeg, if you like nutmeg
- or, use a glaze or all three items.
******EGGNOG GLAZE******
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) melted butter
1 teaspoon(s) light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon(s) rum flavoring
1/2-3/4 cup(s) powdered sugar
2 tablespoon(s) eggnog, or more for drizzle consistency

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Stir, first 5 ingredients, together, in a mixing bowl, until blended. Cut in butter, using a pastry blender/cutter or 2 knives, until coarse crumbs form. Mix in dried cranberries. Use a fork, to stir in the eggnog and make a sticky dough.
  • Turn 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 8-10 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, until risen and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 8 scones. May also cut into wedges, triangles, or cookie cutter shapes. (Larger shapes, may take a few more minutes of cooking.) EGGNOG GLAZE: Mix ingredients together, until smooth. If too thick, add very small amounts of eggnog, until proper drizzling consistency. Drizzle over scones with a spoon or put glaze in a plastic baggie, cut off a corner tip, and drizzle that way.
