Ingredients

2 cups Flour
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg, Or More To Taste
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1/2 cups Salted Butter, Cold, Cut Up Into Small Pieces
3/4 cups Eggnog
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
_____
FOR THE GLAZE (optional):
1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
2 Tablespoons Eggnog

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a cookie sheet.
2

Combine first 6 ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt) in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse meal. Add eggnog and vanilla, stirring until all ingredients are moist, but don't over blend.
3

Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a circle until about 1/2 inch thick. Either cut into wedges (a pizza cutter works great!) for big scones or use a small juice glass or cookie cutter to cut out smaller scones. Makes about 20 medium-sized scones, or many more small ones.
4

Place 1/2 inch apart on the lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
5

Dust with nutmeg or powdered sugar. Or you can make a glaze with powdered sugar and eggnog. Yummy!
