Very nice. I had some eggnog that was getting over the hill and wanted to use it up. This looked like a wonderfully different and elegant recipe. I added 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg to help bring out the eggnog flavor (and because I love nutmeg). I ended up adding more eggnog to make the dough stick together. I made an eggnog-rum glaze to drizzle on top: I combined 1 1/2 Tbsp. melted butter, 1 tsp. corn syrup, 1/2 tsp. rum flavoring, 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 Tbsp. eggnog (add more or less eggnog to get the correct drizzling consistency). I then just put the glaze in a baggie, snipped off the corner and drizzled in a zig-zag pattern, letting the glaze run over the edges of the scones. Delish! Especially served warm with a nice cup of tea.
These are delicious scones. I like the slight crunch that the cornmeal gives them. I baked it as one large round scone rather than cutting into smaller scones and just increased the baking time slightly. The eggnog flavour is very subtle so if you are looking for the eggnog flavour you might want to add some nutmeg.
This is a fast and delicious recipe that Hubby and I just love! Sometimes I substitute currants sometimes use plain milk instead of egg nog but they're always yummy!
Very easy recipe tasted really good. The eggnog taste is subtle not in your face. The round ones looked a little to perfect thought (like inexpensive canned biscuits) so I cut the second batch into triangles they looked much better that way. Im giving them as holiday gifts to friends.
Yum! I made these with the listed ingredients and they were great. Instead of making round scones I cut the patted out round into 8 wedges (personal preference for wedge shaped scones!). After reading comments about the eggnog flavor being very subtle I also brushed them with a little eggnog and sprinkled them lightly with sugar and freshly-grated nutmeg before baking... that little extra glaze adds a lot!
Delicious! I had some eggnog to use up so off to Allrecipes I went (thank you AR for your "search by ingredient" feature!) and found this gem. Like other reviewers I added a splash or two more eggnog to get the dough to be not too crumbly. My husband made a glaze with orange juice triple sec orange extract and powdered sugar... with the glaze these scones are even more amazing. I'll definitely be making them again.
These were a huge hit at a brunch I hosted. I kept them warm by using a warming plate, and the next time I might take one viewers suggestion and add a few eggnog spices for that extra flavor. Thanks!
I halved the recipe and used corn muffin mix rather than just cornmeal. These were simple to make (once I got past rubbing in the butter. I'm a bit of a novice at pastries.) and turned out wonderfully. The flavor is light they're not too dry and certainly not tough. Will make again. Thank you for sharing.
These were fabulous! Easy to make and even BETTER to eat. Mmmmmmm....
These were fine. No one else really liked them. I was trying to use up Christmas eggnog. I probably wont make them again. Cornmeal kind of made them grainy. You could tell cornmeal was in there.
