Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup eggnog
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg until well combined.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggnog, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure tender biscuits.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll the scraps as needed to cut out more biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving. These are best enjoyed warm with a smear of butter or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top!
