EGGNOG BREAD WITH RUM SAUCE RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Eggnog Bread with Rum Sauce Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 13

Eggnog Bread:
1/2 cup butter; softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup eggnog
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp all spice
Rum Sauce:

Steps:

  • Eggnog Bread: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar in a medium/large bowl until smooth. Add in eggs one at a time. Stir in eggnog and vanilla. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients 1/2 cup at a time, until it's all combined. Spray 4- 5″x3″ mini loaf pans or two larger loaf pans with non stick cooking spray. Divide batter evenly among pans and bake for 30-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when tested from the center. Let cool on wire rack before removing from pan. Rum Sauce:Heat the butter, sugar and rum in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Using fresh eggs, milk, and cream will give your eggnog sauce a richer flavor.
  • Temper the eggs: Slowly whisk a small amount of the hot milk into the eggs before adding the rest of the milk. This will prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • Cook the sauce over low heat: Stir the sauce constantly and cook it over low heat until it has thickened. This will prevent the sauce from curdling or scorching.
  • Strain the sauce: Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
  • Chill the sauce: Chill the sauce for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the sauce warm or cold: Eggnog sauce can be served warm or cold. It can be served with pancakes, waffles, French toast, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Eggnog sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of ways. It is a classic holiday sauce, but it can also be enjoyed year-round. With its rich and creamy flavor, eggnog sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
