Sorry about the link. I was trying to cheat since I was onthe laptop that didn't have the recipe saved. Golden eggnog loaf From the Sun Sentinel Golden eggnog loaf is similar to pound cake and is delicious served on its own or topped with ice cream. (Larry Crowe, AP / December 16, 2010) 2 1/4 cups cake flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 3/4 cup eggnog 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 1 cup sugar 2 large eggs Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with baking spray or cooking spray and flour. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Whisk until blended and set aside. In a measuring cup, stir together the eggnog and vanilla. Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in half the flour mixture followed by half of the eggnog mixture. Beat in the remaining flour, follow by the remaining eggnog. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is browned and a skewer inserted at the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the pan and let cool on a wire rack. Serves 12.

Lars: Here is a simple recipe using powdered milk. They are really Crispy and Tender. Might be worth a try. Barnmom gave me a tip I tried and worked great. LOUÂS Pancakes and Waffles Recipe 2 ½ cups milk ( IÂve been using powdered milk) 2 eggs ( separated ) . 1/3 cup of veg. Oil 2 tablespoon of vanilla Italian Pinch of salt ½ cup Sugar 1 cup of Wheat Flour 4 teaspoons Baking Powder All Purpose flour --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mix Pancake Batter: Put the first 6 ingredients ( except egg whites ) in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Put in the Wheat flour, Baking pwd. and some All Purpose flour. Beat until smooth. Add enough flour to thicken slightly, (were it leaves ripples while mixing ) not thin and loose. Beat the egg whites with a teaspoon of sugar, until peaked. Add ½ the egg whites to the batter and fold in easy. Beat the other ½ of the whites until very stiff and fold these in also. After the pancakes are cooked, I put plastic in between for freezing. For Waffles: Thicken a little more, to where you have to move it around with a spoon, when it is put on the waffle iron . Then do the egg white thing as in the pancake batter. When baked I cool them fast on a rack and put them in a plastic bag, and right in the freezer. If you overcook a little, dampen slightly with water, before you put them in the toaster oven. As for the waffle iron , I have a very old round one with adjustable heat Range. It makes a waffle about ½ inch + thickness. For me this is just right, for the amount of butter and syrup that you can put on top. I found a Cuisinart mod.WMR-CA to match my old one. Now I can make Waffles in Stereo I donÂt use the Belgium Waffle Maker ; except when IÂm adding Ice cream and fruit topping , because itÂs too much waffle for the amount of syrup and butter. But may be good for you.! If I want a Belgium Waffle, I just make a double decker and put fruit or whatever filling in between. Then you have more cooked surface area , on the Waffles. Which is where the flavor is ( the cooked surface )

FOAS, that's a good tip, I still over fill my waffle maker sometimes. Bobby, it's all a matter of practice, soon you'll know how full and how long to cook them. I like whole grain waffles, but the kids like the fluffy white ones so that's what I mostly make. You have a recipe you like, so I say keep using that and keep practicing. As I mentioned, I still over fill mine sometimes, if I get distracted and don't pay close enough attention, and then I get that mess to clean up. Maybe less of a mess, thanks to FOAS... Annie

I agree with bbstx about not having anything savory with eggnog, but now I'm thinking that I would like to have gingerbread or spice cake with it. Fruitcake would be good also. I love eggnog season and wish it lasted longer. I will have to start looking for it in stores now, as I do not make my own. I try to avoid any in the stores that have HFCS, but sometimes that is not possible. There are some local dairies that have made eggnog in the past that is excellent and does not have HFCS. I still add a bit of grated nutmeg to it, however, along with the rum.
