Eggnog Brandy Muffins

¾ cups flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. Baking powder
tsp. Salt
Cup prepared eggnog
Cup brandy butter, (unsalted if you got it...use a little less salt if you don’t) melted
1 egg, beaten
tsp. Grated nutmeg plus a little more for sprinkling on top

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 12-muffin baking pan. In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add eggnog, brandy, butter, beaten egg and tsp nutmeg. Stir only till mixed. DO NOT OVERBEAT or muffins will be rubbery and tough. Spoon the batter into greased muffin cups and sprinkle tops of muffins with nutmeg. Bake about 20 minutes, or until tester inserted into center of muffin comes out clean. Remove from tin, butter and enjoy. They freeze nicely and are probably about 200 calories per muffin. Happy New Year!!
