I used dried cherries instead of the cranberries. I also made an eggnog glaze for the topping. This was so good. Christmassy!

We really liked these scones. The flavor from the eggnog was not overpowering, but you definitely got enough of the flavor to put you in the holiday mood. The cornmeal also adds an interesting flavor and texture that we liked a lot. This makes a great holiday breakfast treat.

Yum! I made these with the listed ingredients and they were great. Instead of making round scones, I cut the patted out round into 8 wedges (personal preference for wedge shaped scones!). After reading comments about the eggnog flavor being very subtle, I also brushed them with a little eggnog and sprinkled them lightly with sugar and freshly-grated nutmeg before baking ... that little extra glaze adds a lot!

Very nice. I had some eggnog that was getting over the hill and wanted to use it up. This looked like a wonderfully different and elegant recipe. I added 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg to help bring out the eggnog flavor (and because I love nutmeg). I ended up adding more eggnog to make the dough stick together. I made an eggnog-rum glaze to drizzle on top: I combined 1 1/2 Tbsp. melted butter, 1 tsp. corn syrup, 1/2 tsp. rum flavoring, 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 Tbsp. eggnog (add more or less eggnog to get the correct drizzling consistency). I then just put the glaze in a baggie, snipped off the corner and drizzled in a zig-zag pattern, letting the glaze run over the edges of the scones. Delish! Especially served warm with a nice cup of tea.

These are delicious! I would love to make these over and over and over again. They were super simple and much more delicious than I even imagined! This is a great dessert!

I made these this last week...the night my second daughter was born! :) I didn't have eggnog so I substituted milk with a bit of nutmeg and vanilla extract added to it. I thought the scones were slightly dry but they still tasted very good. I used blueberry infused dried cranberries! Yum!

I didn't have eggnog but used sour cream that I had on hand and they came out very nicely. Initially a little sticky but they shaped up well as I kneaded them a few times on a floured board, and they were easy to transfer to the baking sheet. I liked this recipe very much.
