Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut butter in with a fork or pastry cutter, until uniformly crumbly.
  • Whisk together eggnog, egg, and almond extract.
  • Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture, pour in eggnog mixture. Gently fold ingredients together. Dough will be crumbly, that's ok do not overwork.
  • Dump scone dough out on to a lightly floured surface. Carefully bring dough together, with your hands, do not knead it, just press it together. Divide in two.
  • Form two 8" round discs. Place on a parchment covered baking sheet. Brush with eggnog. Press dried cranberries into top of discs, sprinkle with almond slivers, and sugar.
  • Before baking place scones in freezer for 20 minutes. Remove and cut scones like a pie with a serrated knife. Slice down into disc, rock knife back and forth to separate slices just a little bit.
  • Place in a 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Or until scone is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean when pricked in to the middle.
  • Whisk together powdered sugar and eggnog, for the glaze, drizzle over hot scones.
