Notes

How one can Make Self-Rising Flour: For every cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. For this recipe, I’ve used: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup entire wheat pastry flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
I used common eggnog. You would in all probability use low-fat. Don’t use fat-free eggnog
