MERRY AND BRIGHT CINNAMON OATMEAL SCONES

 CHRISTMAS....
 ...the most wonderful time of the year


I adore all the wonderful Christmas dishes...
and colors of red and white and green


My favorite things to collect at Christmas time are
great mugs...
and
Santas....O, and snowmen....




...and great recipes....

like this one

CINNAMON OATMEAL SCONES
will bring you to your knees !!


2 cups flour
1 cup oats, BUT NOT INSTANT
1/4 cup sugar
I added a tablespoon of
BROWN SUGAR, too..
1 T. baking powder
1/4 tea. salt
1 stick of margarine, chilled and cut into pieces
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tea. vanilla
1/2 cup toasted pecans
1 tea. ground cinnamon
GLAZE
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 tea. orange juice, coffee or milk.
I used COFFEE.....O, HONEY
♥ ♥ ♥
Heat oven to 425. Line your baking sheet with Pamed foil or parchment.
In lg. bowl, combine flour, oats, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt and mix we.. Cut in butter with pasty blender until mix resembles coarse crumbs. In small bowl, combine milk, egg and vanilla.
(Now, ladies...after I got the 'course crumb' look, I just mixed it ALL together...in one bowl...at one time)
Mix all...
Drop by 1/4 cupfuls 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.
Bake about 11 minutes, until nicely browned..
Like everything, Please don't cook too long or they will be dry.
After cooling for a just a few minutes,  drizzle the glaze over the warm scones.

These just about HAVE to be served warm so if using a microwave to reheat...just a few seconds will do the trick.

O, and look...I set out some extra cups and plates, so come on by and have a
CINNAMON OATMEAL SCONE
 and

EGG NOG ........



OOO boy, I do love that egg nog.

 
I like mine WITHOUT the nog...
just a dusting of freshly grated NUTMEG.

My daddy always made homemade egg nog every Christmas and it was,
without a doubt, the best liquid I'd ever put in my young mouth.
(I had my glass of it before the grown-up "stuff" was added.)
sooo good....sooo full of UNCOOKED eggs....it's a wonder we didn't all die...

After I was grown and knew more about eating raw eggs, I told my mama
to try to find Dad a different recipe...
she said, "Awww, the whiskey I put in it COOKS THE EGGS."
hahhaa...I think of this every time I have a cup of egg nog.

  1. How lovely this post is and the dishes are adorable! It's made me get on the mood for C'mas! I love eggnog and scones, what a great combo! yeah, some people don't like egg-nog and my dad didn't like it, nor did I when young, but mother loves to this day, lol!
    Have a wonderful holiday season my friend.

  4. My husband loves scones. He also happens to love oatmeal and need it for his cholesterol. I'd say that was a good reason to call this health food. I have just pinned it to not one but two of my boards just so I can find it. (Am I the only one who has trouble remembering where I pinned something? So blonde. So very blonde...)

  10. I remember working the dairy department at a grocery store for a few Christmases. The day after Christmas, you get people like "uhh you got any more egg nog left?". Then we you tell them no they say "are you getting anymore in?".

  12. Ha, ha, love this story. I know raw eggs can be dangerous, but I think the odds are usually in our favor that they will be ok...or as you say, we would all be dead. I always love seeing your Christmas collections come out. So festive!

  15. BJ, Yummy...I love cookies. Nellie over at Berries and More...bakes cookies all the time. I would be big as a barn ...cause I would be eating them all the time.

  19. BJ, it's always so much fun visiting you! Your cinnamon oatmeal scones look and sound scrumptious! I will definitely give them a try, as I love cinnamon and anything with a glaze! I wonder if your mother's thinking is true; I mean, maybe the alcohol zaps those raw eggs of any scary salmonella!:))

    Happy December!

  20. What's with all the color? No Black and White? Now remember that if we eat too many of the Christmas yummies, we may regret it when we get on the scales in January.

  25. Hi, bj!

    Those scones look so good.
    I am debating, with myself, about making scones in my new iron griddle.

    I Love Eggnog!!
    My mom used to make two big containers of that yummy stuff.
    One for us kids and the other for the adults. I think she used rum.

  26. hi bj ... enjoyed your post and the scones look wonderful and I love oatmeal anything. May give those a try. Mr. Z. used to drink eggnog but I never did.
    Happy days.

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
