Cranberry Eggnog Scones Recipe

Name: Cranberry Eggnog Scones
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 cup rolled oats; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 cup butter; 1 cup dried cranberries; 1 cup chopped pecans; 1 teaspoon grated orange zest; 1 cup eggnog; 1 tablespoon coarse sparkling sugar, or as needed (optional)

Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup eggnog
1 tablespoon coarse sparkling sugar, or as needed (optional)

1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large mixing bowl. Cut in butter until mixture looks crumbly. Mix in cranberries, pecans, and orange zest until evenly distributed. Stir in eggnog.
3
Turn dough out on a well floured surface and cut into 2 pieces. Keep sprinkling on flour if needed. Form each piece into a disk and gently pat each disk into a round about 6 inches in diameter. Sprinkle each disk with coarse sparkling sugar. Cut each round into 8 wedges using a bench scraper or sharp knife. Cut straight down through the dough so you shear the edges; this helps the scones rise. Don't separate the wedges.
4
Transfer dough circles to the prepared baking sheet. Separate the wedges slightly; there should be about 1 inch between the wider edges.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until scones are just beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
