As I was looking back over the types of recipes that I’ve posted over this past year, I saw that scones were definitely at the top of the list!

This is my seventh scone recipe of the year. Which means I had a lot of tasty mornings.

And, I’ve made more than the recipes that have made it to the blog. I love a good scone to go with my morning coffee!

Tender and soft, scones are the perfect canvas for so many flavors.

And while I like many different flavors of scones anytime of year, I usually find myself making scones that are filled with seasonal flavors.

These Cinnamon Eggnog Scones are no different!

When I went to go make scones, I saw the container of eggnog sitting in the fridge and knew that I needed to make some eggnog scones.

I’m not a huge fan of drinking eggnog plain, but I love baking with it. I usually buy a carton of eggnog each year and end up using it all for baking.

The warm spices of cinnamon and nutmeg pair well with the eggnog flavor and a sweet eggnog glaze tops off these irresistible scones!

Grab a mug of your favorite coffee or tea, a blanket, and a cinnamon eggnog scone, and you’re ready for a cozy winter morning!

Ingredients

For the Scones

  • 2 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 Cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 Cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
  • 1/2 Cup eggnog
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Glaze

  • 1 Cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2-3 Tablespoons eggnog

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add in eggnog, egg, and vanilla extract, and stir until just combined.
  4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 5-6 times until dough just comes together. Try not to over-knead the dough as that will result in tough scones.
  5. Gently pat into 8 inch circle. It's okay if it looks a little shaggy. Cut into 8 pieces, and place on prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until edges just start to turn golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
  7. Whisk together confectioner’s sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in 2 tablespoons eggnog until smooth. Stir in additional eggnog, as needed, to reach desired consistency. Dip tops of scones in glaze or spoon glaze over the top.
  8. Allow glaze to harden and serve.
  9. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
