Tom and Jerry Mix
Description
Eggs, sugar, and butter with a handful of spices make a batter to be stirred into hot milk and rum to make this winter-time favorite.
Ingredients
•
1 1/2 pounds confectioners' sugar
•
1/2 pound butter
•
6 eggs, separated
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
•
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
•
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
•
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Directions
1
Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
2
Beat egg whites in a separate large glass or metal mixing bowl until foamy; continue to beat until soft peaks form. (Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.) Stir egg whites into egg yolk mixture. Stir in salt, mace, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom.

To use the mixture, combine 1 cup hot milk and 1 ounce rum in a mug. Stir in 1 tablespoon Tom and Jerry mix.
