I was puzzled that this bread would only have 3 stars. I see that there was an apparent correction. Well, it's worth 5 stars to me! Thanks for posting.

Batter was very loose! Needed 2 pans & when cooked, it had almost a pudding texture. Believe the proportions of flour to liquid are way off!

I believe there is a mistake in the amount of eggnog listed in this recipe...5 1/2 cups is too much and the batter overflows a 9x5

My daughter and I made this bread over Christmas and it was wonderful. We left out the fruit--the bread lasted almost one day--the aroma was awesome!!! Everyone that came by the day we were baking our Christmas goodies wanted to stick around until THAT bread was done. We have already made another loaf. Thanks for a great recipe.
