- 95 g sour cream (⅕ c. + 1 tbsp.)
- 1 tbsp. vanilla bean paste
- 240 g all purpose flour (2 c.)
- 1 ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 35 g light brown sugar (3 tbsp.)
- 113 g unsalted butter cold, cubed (8 tbsp.)
- 90 g mini semi-sweet chocolate chips optional (¼ c. + 2 tbsp.)
- 2 tbsp. eggnog for brushing on the scones
Eggnog Glaze
- 180 g powdered sugar (1 ½ c.)
- 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 3-4 tbsp. eggnog
- 2 tsp. vanilla bean paste
Instructions
Eggnog Scones
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream and vanilla bean paste until well combined. Set the mixture in the fridge.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the flour, nutmeg, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Slice the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients.
- Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter pieces are quite small.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the wet ingredients mixture and the chocolate chips, if using. Lightly mix the ingredients together in the bowl until you have a shaggy dough.
- Use your hands to lightly knead the scone dough together just until it becomes a cohesive ball.
- Form the dough into a circle that is 6" in diameter and 1" thick. Cover the dough and let it rest in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Slice the scones into 8 equally sized triangles. Evenly space them apart on the lined baking sheet.
- Brush a little bit of eggnog on top of each of the scones. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones start to turn golden brown on top and on the bottoms.
Eggnog Glaze
- Add the powdered sugar, nutmeg, vanilla bean paste, and 3 tbsp. of eggnog to a small mixing bowl. Whisk together, adding in more eggnog as needed to achieve your desired glaze consistency.
- Once the scones have cooled to room temperature, top them with the glaze. Serve and enjoy!
