📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat oven to 350°F. Line 12 regular-size muffin cups with paper baking cups.
2
In medium bowl, stir together all Cupcake ingredients except butter, eggs and eggnog. In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter until creamy, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Add flour mixture all at once; beat until mixture resembles crumble topping. Add 2 eggs; beat about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Scrape side and bottom of bowl well; beat ⏱️ 1 minute longer. Batter should be light in color and a bit fluffy. Scrape bowl; gently beat in 1/2 cup eggnog just until combined and batter is silky and smooth. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.

Bake 25 to ⏱️ 28 minutes or until tops of cupcakes spring back when touched lightly in center and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven; place on cooling rack. Cool completely, about ⏱️ 45 minutes.

In 2-quart saucepan, stir together 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup flour with whisk. Beat in 1 cup eggnog and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg until no lumps remain. Heat mixture over medium heat, beating with whisk until mixture comes to a low boil and thickens enough to coat a spoon. Remove from heat; scrape mixture into bowl. Cool completely, about ⏱️ 45 minutes.
