Winter's coming and there's nothing better on a cold snowy night than a good Tom & Jerry!

GRAMMA NICKY'S TOM AND JERRY BATTER



Gramma Nicky's Tom and Jerry Batter image

This recipe has been in my family for 3 generations. I've been making it for 40 years. It makes a wonderful fluffy batter that keeps in the refrigerator for about week, but it never lasts that long at my house. For health reasons, make sure you add the egg yolks while the mixture is still very warm. Enjoy!

Categories     Beverages

Time 45m

Yield 5 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups cold water
2 tablespoons Karo syrup
6 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
rum, Brandy or cognac
grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Mix the sugar, water and syrup in a medium pan. Boil on medium high heat until mixture forms a thread (230 to 233 Degrees F).
  • While mixture is boiling, beat 6 egg whites until stiff peaks form, saving beaten yolks in a separate bowl.
  • In a Kitchen Aid Mixer on 2 to 4 speed, slowly pour hot syrup mixture over the stiffly beaten egg whites. Do not scrape the hot pan.

  • (Note: Before adding beaten egg yolks, make sure the mixture is very warm, BUT NOT HOT. You don't want the eggs to scramble, but you do want to kill any bacteria. You more experienced cooks can also temper the yolks with about 1/4 cup of the hot mixture, before adding to the mixer.).

TOM AND JERRY



Tom and Jerry image

Provided by Dale DeGroff

Categories     Rum     Alcoholic     Egg     Christmas     Brandy     Christmas Eve     Drink

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the batter:
12 fresh eggs, separated
3 pounds granulated white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 ounces añejo rum
For the drink:
2 tablespoons of batter
1 1/2 ounces brandy
1/2 ounce añejo rum
3 or 4 ounces boiling water
Freshly grated nutmeg, for dusting

Steps:

  • For the batter:
  • In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until they are thin as water, adding the sugar while beating. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Add the spices and rum to the yolks. Mix in the stiff whites and stir until the mixture is the consistency of a light batter. (1 teaspoon of cream of tartar or 1/4 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda will prevent the sugar from settling to the bottom of the batter.)
  • For the drink:
  • Put the batter in the bottom of a ceramic mug, add the spirits and the boiling water and stir. Dust with nutmeg and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the Tom and Jerrys will taste. Use fresh eggs, milk, and cream.
  • Make sure the batter is smooth. To prevent lumps, be sure to whisk the batter until it is completely smooth before adding it to the hot milk.
  • Don't overcook the batter. Overcooking the batter will make the Tom and Jerrys tough and rubbery. As soon as the batter thickens, remove it from the heat.
  • Serve the Tom and Jerrys hot. Tom and Jerrys are best served hot, right out of the pot. If you're making them ahead of time, reheat them gently over low heat before serving.
  • Garnish the Tom and Jerrys with whipped cream and cinnamon. This will add a festive touch and make the Tom and Jerrys even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Tom and Jerrys are a classic holiday drink that is sure to please everyone at your party. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Experiment with different spices and extracts to find your favorite combination. Whether you like them plain or with a little something extra, Tom and Jerrys are the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season.
