Itsy Bitsy Foodies

I love eggnog so when I made this recipe over ten years ago I knew that it was a keeper for the holiday season.  It has a sweet, light eggnog flavor that works for breakfast or dessert.  You can serve it plain or ice it with buttercream frosting.  I like to bake it in small loaves for holiday gifts or to freeze for future use.

Ingredients

2 eggs

1 cup eggnog

2 1/4 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 tsp vanilla

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Beat the eggs in a large bowl.  Add the sugar, eggnog, butter and vanilla.  Mix the dry ingredients and stir them into the batter.

Pour the batter into the greased pan(s).  The recipe makes 1 large loaf, or several smaller loaves or muffins.

Bake the bread at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the pan.  A knife or toothpick inserted into the bread should come out clean.  Let the bread cool completely and then store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
