Eggnog Cranberry Scones
Are you looking to impress your mother-in-law at the family's Christmas breakfast? Are you searching for the perfect tasty morsel to bring to that Christmas tea party? Breathe a sigh of relief. You've stumbled upon the answer here!
Frugal Antic's Improv Challenge gives me the opportunity to share this scone recipe I've been developing for a couple months. Inspiration came from various cookbooks and scone recipes found at King Arthur Flour.
Start by letting those dry ingredients get all happy together:
Don't forget the beautiful cranberries!
Whisk up the 'nog & egg:
give them some Christmas "cheer"
Stir just enough to moisten all the dry ingredients:
Form dough into two rounds & cut in wedges:
Place pieces onto baking parchment at least 1/2" apart:
Brush with additional eggnog & sprinkle with cinnamon sugar:
Chill them while you preheat the oven:
Whip some cream while baking those bad boys:
Devour!
So -- if you're drooling for them, here is the recipe card:
I've prepared these for my guys ("Best ever, Mom!") a ladies' luncheon (rave reviews) & many batches for my online bake sale. Yes, this scone is guaranteed to please!
"NOM - NOM - NOM!"
oh those sound heavenly! definitely going to have to make them this weekend, yum!
