Ingredients
Scale
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
½ cup warm eggnog (about 110°F)
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for greasing)
1 large egg
3 ½ to 4 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (freshly grated if possible)
1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
2 to 3 tablespoons eggnog (for icing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm eggnog and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it gets frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and egg. Once your yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the bowl and mix well.
Gradually incorporate 3 ½ cups of flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until a shaggy dough forms, adding more flour if necessary.
On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it’s doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle (about 16×12 inches).
Melt a tablespoon of butter and brush it over the dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, then roll tightly from the long side.
Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Whisk together the powdered sugar and eggnog to make icing, adjusting for thickness.
Once the rolls are done, drizzle the icing over them and serve warm.
