Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• ¹⁄₂ cup Eggnog
• 1 Egg

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

7. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and cut it into 8 wedges.
8. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
10. Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
