The holidays season can be summed up in one joy: EggNog.



And of coarse, two of us drank a whole quart of nog.

And for the several who mentioned the store bought sludge, quit screwing around. Learn the elixir....

12 eggs, separated. Don't try to shortcut the separation.
Beat the whites and add 1 cup of sugar
Beat the yolks and add 1 cup of sugar. also.
Beat two pints of whipping cream until just before it peaks.
Mix it all together. Kind of folding.
Add 8 cups of milk.
Add 1 cup ( or more) of alcohol. more is better. If you use brandy, use the cheap stuff because it is often sweeter.

You will only buy store bought in emergency situations from this point on. And you will regret it.

Make a reservation NOW! with Rotorooter to unclog your arteries on Jan.1.

Never made it myself, but sure loved it when someone else made it. Never had good stuff from a store.

Wow!

I wasn't even going to look at this thread anymore. That recipe is awesome. You know Hyde, that recipe is very similar to mousse? If you can do your recipe correctly, then mousse should not be much harder.

These catch-all threads are often full of hidden gems, daveT. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Btw I had no idea how incredibly eggy egg nog is! It sounds like you might as well mainline bacon!

[daveT]

Hey guys. Hyde gave me a great idea. I would like to start a holiday baking thread.

Blarg. I probably spend more time on the HU LC thread than anywhere. I love poker, and love cracking jokes on it.

I can make a monster egg nog with lighter fluid.

the key to a knock-out holiday egg-nog is using HALF of your licqour of choice. No "spalshes." Half Cognac/half egg-nog.

trust me, it'll knock your socks off.
