People are always impressed by homemade scones. Which is silly, they are so simple to make, use basic ingredients and bake up in under 20 minutes. You are about 30 minutes away from fresh homemade scones right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Eggnog Scones are a delicious treat for breakfast, tea time, or dessert any time during the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make them Christmas Eve and leave one for Santa with a piping hot cup of coffee with a splash of eggnog in it. Or mix them up quickly Christmas morning for a festive breakfast or brunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tricks to Making Flaky Scones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

COLD is better<\/strong>. Cakes and cookies like room temperature butter and eggs. Not scones. Like biscuits and croissants cold butter provides helps separate the layers instead of mixing in completely like other baked goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not overmix!<\/strong> You want the dough to have bits of butter still in it. Plus, the more you mix it the more gluten can develop which is great for bread baking, but not the texture you want for scones.<\/p>\n\n\n
