One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is big glasses of thick, delicious eggnog. The warm flavor of the nutmeg with sweet egg cream. It represents everything that I love about Christmas time!
I was wondering what it might be like to bake with eggnog...would the eggnog lose its flavor? Because scones are so simple to cook and require very little finesse, I went to Pinterest to find the perfect eggnog scone. P.S. Follow me on Pinterest here!

I didn't want to invest in eggnog extract--I wanted a recipe that used the real stuff! These Eggnog Scones totally fit the bill.
The smell of nutmeg fills up your kitchen while these delicious, buttery, crumbly scones bake up. The taste of eggnog really comes through in every bite. The outside of the scones are perfectly golden and crispy, while the inside stays soft and tender. These are a great breakfast treat to bring to your family this holiday season!
If you're feeling wild and crazy, you could also drizzle an eggnog glaze on top of the scones. Mix together about a cup of powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of eggnog and a dash of nutmeg. Totally divine! I found the scones had a nice, light sweetness on their own, so I just enjoyed them straight up with a warm cup of coffee. Perfection!
