Eggnog Muffins

I love eggnog. I won't drink it any time of the year except Christmas. Somehow, it seems wrong to drink eggnog in July, but once Thanksgiving dinner is cleaned up, I break it out! I use it to make a lot of stuff too: fudge, cookies, muffins...

Eggnog Muffins
2 1/4 c. flour
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 c. eggnog
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the melted (and cooled) butter, eggnog, eggs, and vanilla. Stir just to combine - the batter should still be a little lumpy. Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners. Divide batter into the muffin tin and bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

You can make a glaze for the muffins with 1 c. powdered sugar and enough eggnog to make a thin glaze. Pour it over the muffins. I don't do this, really ever, because I make my muffins ahead of time and freeze them. Plus, we eat these for Saturday morning breakfast and without the glaze I can pretend they are nutritious. :-)
