Eggnog Muffin Tops #MuffinMonday

By

Earlier in the year I saw a post from one of my favorite bloggers - Wendy at A Day in the Life on the Farm - and I realized that they've been having a muffin party for years without me. LOL. I emailed the host, Stacy of Food Lust People Love and got the scoop: "...last Monday of the month and no themes. We've been baking together since August 2015! Only one rule, you must use the muffin method (folding wet ingredients with dry - no creaming butter and sugar, etc.) to bake muffins."

I've been happily joining in for months now. This month is the last Muffin Monday of 2020! Here's the muffin line-up...

Ingredients

After we did an eggnog taste test, back in 2017, we have our favorites. The winner was Humboldt! And we always have a carton of eggnog in the fridge throughout the holidays.


  • 2 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup organic granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup eggnog (use your favorite!)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon rum or other liqueur (eggnog typically requires rum, I had a coffee liqueur on the counter!)

Procedure
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your  muffin hollows or use paper liners. I only have 4 of the muffin top molds, so I used 6 ramekins as well.

In a medium large mixing bowl, stir together all of the ingredients until just moistened. The batter will be thick. Spoon batter into your molds until they are approximately three-quarters of the way full; they will rise!

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes - until golden brown and nicely risen. A wooden toothpick inserted in centers should come out clean. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups; serve warm.

And just in case you want to order your own adorable muffin molds, I'm including an affiliate link below. We love them!

    Eggnog was added to our family shopping list the week before Christmas and I searched the supermarket for some. I finally found just one kind, Borden's, in the refrigerator section. How did you find so many to try?! Clearly my store is inferior to yours! P.S. Lovely muffins!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
