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.

Number Of Ingredients 18

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.
