Ingredients

Scale
  • Dry Ingredients:
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Wet Ingredients:
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
    • 1/2 cup eggnog
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For Topping:
    • 1 tablespoon milk
    • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggnog, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
  7. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut into wedges or use a round cutter to shape scones.
  8. Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush the tops with milk, and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: The dough can be prepared and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Storage: Store leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk or almond milk in place of eggnog and vegan butter instead of regular butter.
