Hello my friends, Here is another recipe to add to our Christmas cook book: Eggnog Muffins 3 cups flour 1 tablespoons baking powder 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 large eggs 1 cup milk 1/2 cup melted butter, margarine or oil 2 teaspoons rum or rum extract 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon In a large bowl, combine flour, baking power, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, oil and rum. Pour liquid ingredients over dry, stir just until mixed. Spoon batter evenly into 12 greased, 2 1/2 inch muffin cups. In a small container, combine sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over tops of muffins. Bake in a 400F oven for 20 minutes or until golden. So be sure you look at each days Christmas recipes and collect them and make them in to a nice cook book as a gift. Kathy Martin

Kathy, Her is one for Amish Friendship Bread. Glass Bowl, wooden spoons - DO NOT USE ANY METAL UTENSILS 1 package active dry yeast 2 1/2 cups warm water 2 cups sifted flour 1 tablespoon sugar Dissolve yeast in 1 cup of the warm water. Stir in remaining warm water, flour and sugar, beat until smooth. Place in a glass bowl on the countertop, do not put in refrigerator. Cover with clean dishcloth. The starter will ferment for 10 days before it is ready to give away or use for bread. 10 Day Instructions: DAY 1 Begin or receive starter DAY 2 Stir DAY 3 Stir DAY 4 Stir DAY 5 Add 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk DAY 6 Stir DAY 7 Stir DAY 8 Do nothing DAY 9 Do nothing DAY 10 Add 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk Put 1 cup of starter in each of three containers, give to friends and keep one for yourself to start again. This will begin their DAY 1. You can give them away in ziplock bags, but make sure you tell your friends to "burp" the bag about twice daily. To the remaining batter add: 1 cup oil, 1 cup sugar, 2 cups flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 3 eggs, 1 large box or two small boxes vanilla pudding mix, 2 tsps cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat with fork until well blended. If desired, add one cup raisins or nuts or chocolate chips, but the bread is good plain. Grease 2 loaf pans with butter & sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 325 degrees for one hour or until you have a clean fork when poked in the middle. Enjoy and let your friends enjoy! God Bless You, Mahlon

Kathy, I thank you for the recipes however the Eggnog Muffins are one ingredient short. After the 1/4 teaspoon of Cinnamon there is to be a 1/2 pint of white rum...This ingredient is the true finishing touch to the Muffins, that you have provided, it gives them a nut like taste, as the alcohol is baked off during the baking process however, the nutty flavor from the rum, a taste somewhat like walnuts or Cashews is left... I didn’t know that you were a cook, I love to cook it is something that I learned in many field outings during my tour in the US military…MRE, or C rations as they were called in the beginning of my military years, they are not the best of foods “taste wise” but are nevertheless nutritional. But as I said put in some rum and those muffins will be on the ball… Talk to you later my friend… Respectfully, Manuel D.
