This is my Mom’s recipe and it is a good Holiday drink! MMMM…
- 3 Large eggs separated
- 1 Pound powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
- Pinch Nutmeg
Separate the eggs and whip the whites to a firm peak. Add ½ of the sugar about a quarter cup
at a time. Keep mixing as you add the sugar; set aside. Whip yolks the same way as you did the whites
add the remaining sugar. Fold the whites and vanilla into this mixture and store in the refrigerator. This will keep for at least a week.
To mix a Tom and Jerry: add a Tablespoon (adjust to your own taste) of batter, to an Irish Coffee mug and to this add 1 ½ oz. Of Whiskey or Bourbon . Add boiling water or hot milk to top off the mug and sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg onto the top!
