I’m working from home today and I knew that I wanted to take a mid-morning break to whip up something fun and festive. These Egg Nog Scones were the perfect holiday treat with a nice cup of tea. I’m a huge fan of Mama Pea from Peas and Thank You and these Egg Nog Scones are adapted from her own amazing vegan recipe. These would be a great addition to a Christmas morning brunch.
Makes 8 large scones · Printable Version
What you’ll need:
Scones:
- 2-1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tbsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 3/4 cup egg nog
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp egg nog
- pinch of nutmeg
- pinch of cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt and nutmeg.
Cut in butter/margarine until the mixture is coarse in texture.
Combine egg nog, egg and vanilla in a small bowl. Add into dry ingredients.
Stir until a dough forms, which may be a bit crumbly. Do not over mix.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and form into a round circle, about 1 1/2 inches high and 10 inches in diameter. Slice circle into eight equal wedges, and transfer scones to a baking sheet. Bake for 20-22 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare glaze by combing all ingredients in a small bowl and mixing until it comes to a drizzly consistency. Add more egg nog if needed.
Let scones cool and then serve drizzled with icing.
These look fantastic! I love eggnog. I never thought of using it in scones.

The store was out of regular egg nog, so we got vanilla egg nog. Any guess on how we should adjust for this? Should we reduce added vanilla or leave it out altogether? Thanks!
