White Chocolate Eggnog Scones with Eggnog Glaze
Eggnog Scones are a delicious way to use up leftover eggnog! Add a little white chocolate and eggnog glaze, and you have a perfect holiday snack or addition to brunch!
Eggnog is perfect in baking!
Eggnog seems to be one of those things that I always have around during the holiday season, and at times it’s just kind of sitting there in the fridge with no one really drinking it. But because it’s the Christmas season I feel compelled to buy it so I do, but I make sure not to let it go to waste. I like to substitute milk with eggnog in cookies, cakes, pancakes, waffles and many baking recipes, so we can enjoy the taste of this holiday drink in other ways.
So this past weekend when I had a hankering for warm scones I decided to make Eggnog Scones, and not just regular scones, but scones with chunks of white chocolate! These were SO delicious, in fact my husband has told me at least 5 times how much he loved this recipe! They are perfectly spiced with eggnog, cinnamon and nutmeg! And in every bite you get a chunk of white chocolate….yummmmmm
Quick and Simple Eggnog Scones.
I love that in less than half an hour I had a batch of fresh baking ready! 10 minutes to prep, 15 minutes to bake, and you’ve got warm delicious scones ready to enjoy with a cuppa tea or holiday coffee! Great for last minute guests!
Make the Glaze!
You don’t have to add the glaze, but I would…it just takes these scones to the next flavour level! But you must add the white chocolate…SO delicious! I hope you enjoy this recipe!
Eggnog Scones Recipe Tips:
- Eggnog: Use a good, full fat eggnog for these scones!
- White Chocolate: You can use white chocolate chips, or cut a white chocolate bar into chunks.
- Mixing: Make sure not to over mix the dough or the scones will be tough.
- Storage: Store these scones in an air-tight container on your counter.
- Freezing: These scones freeze well. You can freeze them with or without the glaze.

- Category: Scone
- Method: Baking
Ingredients
Eggnog Scones:
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- dash nutmeg
- 1/2 cup of cold butter (cut into small chunks)
- 3/4 cup eggnog
- 1/4 cup chopped white chocolate
Eggnog Glaze:
- 1/2 cup icing sugar (confectioner’s sugar)
- 1 – 2 tbsp eggnog
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until the butter is pea sized.
- Stir in the eggnog until the dough is moistened, but be careful not to over mix it or the biscuits will be tough.
- Stir in the chopped white chocolate.
- Lay a sheet of wax or parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
- Press the dough into a ball and transfer it on to the paper and press it down into a circular disk. Flatten the dough to a 1 inch thickness.
- Using knife or cookie cutter cut the dough into triangles or wedges (like a pizza), to make 12 scones.
- Spread the scones out so there is about 2 inches between them on the sheet.
- Bake for ~10-15 minutes. The scones are done when the bottom edges are slightly golden brown.
- When they are done baking, transfer the scones to a cooling rack.
Eggnog Glaze:
- While the scones are baking, mix together the ingredients for the glaze.
Putting it all together:
- Once the scones have cooled, drizzle them with the eggnog glaze. To do this I transfer the glaze into a ziplock bag, cut a corner of the bag off, and pipe the icing onto the cooled scones.
- Enjoy!
