Tom and Jerry

TOM AND JERRY

What you need …

10 eggs

1 lb. 10X confectioner’s sugar

1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

Nutmeg

What you do …

Carefully separate the eggs into two bowls. Any yolk in the whites will hinder making fluffy peaks later.

Gradually add powdered sugar to the yolks, beating until a stiff cake-like batter is formed.

Add the cream of tartar to the whites and whip until stiff peaks form.

Use a large spoon or spatula to gently fold whites into the yolk batter.

NOTE: You can easily downsize the recipe to prevent waste.

How you serve …

Add a heaping teaspoon of batter into a mug, along with a shot of rum or whiskey.

Pour in boiling water while stirring.

Sprinkle with nutmeg and serve.

NOTE: Adjust amount of batter to mug size.
