Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, optional
  • 3/4 cup egg nog (lowfat or classic)
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • Sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg in large mixing bowl; mix well. Cut butter into flour mixture with pastry blender or two knives until mixture is the texture of cornmeal. Make a well in center of flour mixture; add egg nog. Stir with fork until dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Gather dough and divide into 2 balls. Roll or pat one ball on floured surface to form a circle 1-inch thick. Cut into 8 pie-shaped pieces. Place on lightly greased baking sheet; brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Repeat with remaining ball. Bake at 425 F for 12 minutes or until tops are lightly browned. Serve warm.

Variation: Add 1/2 cup dried cranberries and 1 tsp grated orange peel OR 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips to dough before dividing into wedges. Bake as above.
