I have a recipe similar to this (though it has baking soda and some proportions of ingredients are slightly different) and it is really good. I got it from a coworker who brought the scones in to work. They were so popular that I asked for the recipe, dropped it accidentally, and some other coworker absconded with it (I got it back but the coworker asked if they could make a copy as well). They've been very popular with my friends and my parents (who want me to bake it everytime I come home for christmas now) and I've substituted buttermilk for the eggnog when it's not holiday season and also have with great success turned the buttermilk version into a peppermint chocolate chip scone (very tastey particularly if you like chocolate and mint flavor together). Alice, thanks for the feedback - peppermint scones with chocolate chips sound delightful... PJH
