Total Time:40 minutes
Yield:12 muffins
Ingredients
Muffins:
3 cups flour, 360 grams
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 Tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup eggnog, full fat
Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup eggnog
Instructions
Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
Combine dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground nutmeg. Set aside to keep the mixture ready.
Cream butter and sugar: Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the softened butter on medium-high speed until creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed, then add sugar and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, scraping the bowl occasionally.
Add eggs and vanilla: Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated.
Alternate mixing wet and dry: Add about a quarter of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined. Then add a few tablespoons of eggnog. Continue alternating additions of flour mixture and eggnog, ending with the flour mixture. The batter will be thick and well mixed.
Fill muffin liners: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin liners, filling each close to the top for nicely domed muffins.
Bake the muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, ground nutmeg, and about half of the eggnog until smooth. Slowly add the remaining eggnog until the glaze reaches your desired consistency for dipping or spreading.
Glaze the muffins: Once muffins have cooled slightly, dip the tops into the eggnog glaze or spread it over the muffins with a small offset spatula. Allow the glaze to firm up for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use full-fat eggnog as specified.
Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
Do not overmix the batter once the wet and dry ingredients are combined to maintain muffin tenderness.
If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of eggnog used.
These muffins freeze well; store them in an airtight container for up to one month.
