  1. Preheat oven to 350° and spray 3 mini baking tins with non-stick spray.
  2. Mix together the egg nog, butter, sugar, eggs, rum, and vanilla in your mixer with wire whisk attachment.
  3. Don't worry if the butter remains a bit clumpy, it will melt together when you bake it.
  4. Combine flour, pudding mix, baking powder, salt and nutmeg and sift together.
  5. Add slowly to the wet mixture and blend quickly, scraping down the sides a few times. Don't over mix.
  6. Divide mixture between 3 mini baking tins and bake for about 30 minutes or until the loaves are just done and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While they are baking make the Dark Rum Glaze by whisking the powdered sugar with the egg nog, rum, and nutmeg.
  8. When the loaves come out of the oven, poke some holes in the top with a toothpick or chopstick and then drizzle with glaze.

NOTES:

Egg Nog can be frozen...so save some from the holiday season so you can make this sweet, delicious, pound cake-like bread when the holidays are over!
