Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup plus 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • scant 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 heaping cup coarsely chopped pecans
  • wet ingredients
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (or oil)
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp rum flavoring (optional)
  • note: butter is better. ;-)

Directions:

  1. Prepare a 12 muffin tin by buttering and dusting it with flour or by inserting muffin papers in the cups.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  3. Whisk dry ingredients together until thoroughly mixed.
  4. Whisk wet ingredients together until thoroughly mixed.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix only until combined. (DO NOT OVER BEAT. Over beating can cause muffins to toughen and have air tunnels.)
  6. Bake for 25 minutes. Begin checking the muffins after 20 minutes. Every oven is different.
  7. Muffins could take up to 30 minutes.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  9. These are best served when still warm.
  10. OPTIONAL: Mix about 2 cups of powdered sugar with just enough eggnog to make a glaze. Pour glaze on muffins a few minutes before serving..
