Now that Christmas is over, all the eggnog still lingering in your local grocery store is on sale. Can't pass by a good deal, yet wondering why do you want to drink more of this stuff? Go for the sale and bake that eggnog into...
Eggnog Quick Bread
2 eggs
1 cup dairy eggnog (light, non-fat & soy work too)
2 teaspoons rum extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Grease bottom only of a 9x5 inch loaf pan or three 5 3/4x3 1/4 inch loaf pans. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Blend in sugar, eggnog, butter, rum extract and vanilla extract. In another bowl stir together flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Mix into eggnog mixture; stir just to moisten dry ingredients. Pour batter into prepared pan or pans. Bake bread in large pan for 40 to 60 minutes or until tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Breads baked in smaller pans require 35 to 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes and then remove bread from pan to cool completely. Wrap tightly and store in the fridge.
