Some years the children and I get plenty of vacation baking finished. Just like the yr we made a Gingerbread Zoo. (Wow, we should’ve been completely snowed in that yr.)
Some years: Not a lot. Just like the yr we moved from Chicago to southern Illinois per week earlier than Christmas with a three-month outdated child….
However each yr, we make a pair batches of those Eggnog Cranberry Scones. My child (who’s now 4) can combine them with assist; her 11-year-old sister mixes and bakes herself. With solely 5 components, they’re straightforward to bake up a batch for:
- Mates who cease over for a Christmas cup of tea
- Final minute visitors
- The Christmas cookie alternate (decoding the phrase ‘cookie’ loosely)
I posted this recipe for 3 Ingredient Cranberry Eggnog Scones a pair years in the past and it was even picked up by Relish Journal (the print model of the magazine did attribute the recipe to moi!) However I’ve up to date the recipe since then to embrace a must-make two-ingredient Eggnog Glaze. And boy, is it ever value including these further two components.

Notes
The way to Make Self-Rising Flour: For every cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. For this recipe, I’ve used: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup entire wheat pastry flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
I used common eggnog. You may most likely use low-fat. Don’t use fat-free eggnog
What are you baking for the vacations this yr? How do you wish to bake with eggnog?
