Tom and Jerry Mix

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.

• Preparation Time: 20 mins
• Total Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 6 eggs, separated
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 0.5 pound butter
• 0.25 teaspoon ground mace
• 1.5 pounds confectioners' sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 3

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