Eggnog Scones

3 cups unbleached flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 stick butter
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup eggnog

For the topping:
2 Tbsp eggnog
2 tsp granulated sugar

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Cut the butter into tablespoon-sized pieces and incorporate it into the dry ingredients. In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and eggnog. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.


Turn the dough out on to a floured surface and knead to combine.

If you’re not using a scone pan, separate the dough into halves. Shape each half of dough into a circle, and then cut each half into four wedges. If you are using a scone pan, spray it lightly with cooking spray. Divide the dough into equal pieces and press them into the pan. Brush with the eggnog and then sprinkle with the granulated sugar.

Place the pan of scones in the freezer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes. Then, remove the scones from the freezer and put them right in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove them to a wire rack to cool.

I am drinking an eggnog latte right now and it is yummy!

Eggnog Latte

2/3 cup strong brewed coffee
dash of cinnamon
dash of freshly grated nutmeg
1/4-1/3 cup eggnog (to your taste)
1/4 cup whipped cream


Brew your coffee grinds together with the cinnamon and nutmeg. In a microwave-safe mug (a Christmas one, naturally), heat the eggnog for about 30 seconds on High in the microwave. Pour the coffee into the eggnog and stir. Top with whipped cream and another dash of cinnamon.

Simple Chocolate Sugared Donuts

Southwestern Cheddar Steak Fries

Southwestern Cheddar Steak Fries


 
Eggnog Latte Cupcakes

1 vanilla cake mix  (I used french vanilla)
3 eggs (used egg beaters)
1 c. eggnog  (used light eggnog)
1/3 c. oil  (used no added sugar applesauce)
1/4 c. sour cream  (used fat free)
1 tsp. rum extract
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350*. Line pan with cupcake liners. Beat all ingredients on low for 1 minute and then on medium for 2 minutes. Fill liners 2/3 of the way full. Bake 22 minutes. Cool on a wire rack completely before frosting with coffee buttercream. Dust with nutmeg. Keep refrigerated.

 
Coffee Cream Butter Cream
(I have a ton of store bought frostings so I took a cream cheese one, dissolved a teaspoon of espresso powder in a tablespoon of hot water and added to frosting with the rum extract. It turned out just fine)

1/2 c. butter, softened 
1/4 c. shortening
2 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp. hot water
2 Tbsp. instant coffee
1/2 tsp. rum extract
pinch of salt
4 c. powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. heavy whipping cream

Dissolve coffee in hot water and set aside. Beat butter, shortening and cream cheese until fluffy. Add coffee water, extract, and salt. Beat in sugar slowly. After all the sugar has been mixed in, beat in whipping cream to thin it slightly. Keep refrigerated.
