Eggnog Cupcakes

1 package yellow cake mix
1 1/2 cups eggnog
4 tablespoons melted butter
4 eggs
1 teaspoon nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 and grease and flour pan or line with cups. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and fill cups 2/3 full. Bake 8-10 minutes for mini cupcakes or 12-14 minutes for regular size. Cool on rack before frosting.

Eggnog Frosting

1 cup eggnog
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar (or 2-3 cups confectioner's sugar for sweeter frosting)

Heat eggnog and flour in small saucepan and stir continuously until mixture thickens. Remove from stove and cool completely. Cream together butter, shortening, and sugar until fluffy. Slowly mix in cooled eggnog mixture and continue to beat until desired consistency.
