Once a year I go on an eggnog recipe binge. I use it in place of almond milk in my frother and load it into my lattes. There is something magical about the creamy sweet spice flavor of eggnog. Did you know eggnog is also good for baking? These eggnog scones are perfect with a cup of coffee.

I tend to use store-bought eggnog, but you can definitely make your own eggnog too.

🔪 Instructions

All scone recipes start out with a base. Add in any mix-ins. Do you prefer a sweet scone or a savory scone?

How to cut cold butter into flour:

Cut the butter into the dry ingredients. I like to use a pastry blender to get the butter chopped into fine pieces. Some people will use knives, but this takes a very long time. You can also use a food processor.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Place the dough between two pieces of wax paper and roll into a circle shape.

Cut the dough before you bake it. Bake at 350 degrees and you are only 20 minutes away from eating :-).

Can you use a scone pan with this recipe?

You can definitely use a scone pan with this gluten free eggnog scones recipe. Depending on the size of your scone pan, you may have to adjust the baking time.

Can you use dairy-free eggnog in this recipe?

You can definitely use dairy-free eggnog in this recipe. I have used the brands So Delicious and Califia in this recipe.

Drizzle icing, or enjoy them plain.

💭 Top tips:

• Roll out the scone dough into a 1 1/2 inch thick circle.
• You want the dough to be firm enough to make firm scones.
• If you don't have eggnog, feel free to use regular milk.
• You can use any type of chocolate, dark, white or milk chocolate.

Reader adaptations:

Becky L said "Excellent. Used milk instead of eggnog, baked for 30 minutes, added raisins instead of chocolate chips."

Tools:

1. This is my favorite gluten free flour for making scones.
2. A big baking sheet is important for baking these scones.
