Tom and Jerrys Recipe

We had these every year at the Moose Lodge with my family on Christmas Eve.

• 24 eggs
• 1/2 jigger rum
• 2 lb powdered sugar
• 1/2 jigger brandy
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 oz vanilla

To make the batter: Separate the eggs. Beat egg whites until stiff with an electric beater. Add sugar gradually. Add cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Add in half of the eggs yolks, and blend until smooth. In a large mug fill with 1/2 batter, 2 shots of [60% rum and 40% brandy]. Balance with boiling hot water. Stir well and sprinkle with nutmeg. (Topped with whip cream is my favorite!)

In November and December, look for premade mixes at your grocery or liquor stores - much easier than making them from scratch!
