Eggnog Muffins
Sometimes after Christmas, when all the company has gone, theres a little leftover eggnog in the fridge, and it seems everyone is tired of the rich food and can’t sip another sip of the stuff…or there is no rum left to mix with it?
Rather than watch it go bad in the fridge, be thrifty, and use it up in another way.
I have written out a couple of recipes for muffins, which always seem to be a hit for snacking or a quick breakfast. You can simply use your favorite recipe, and replace the milk part with equal amounts of eggnog. The results are delicious and they seem to puff up more while baking!!
