Gramma Nickys Tom And Jerry Batter Recipes

TOM AND JERRY BATTER

Steps:

• Beat egg whites and salt until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape.
• Beat the egg yolks to soft peaks in a separate bowl. Beat the butter and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla to the butter mixture; mix. Stir in the nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and the egg whites; beat until well blended. Batter can be frozen or kept in refrigerator for several weeks.
• To make a Tom and Jerry, fill a cup of hot water with spiced rum or brandy, warm milk, hot cocoa, or eggnog and stir in 1 heaping tablespoon of batter.

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. Beat mixture on high until it cools slightly -- 2 to 3 minutes. Then SLOWLY add beaten egg yolks. Beat a few more minutes more, then add vanilla and baking powder. Beat until mixture is cool.
• (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 RECIPE

Steps:

• Begin by separating your eggs, placing the whites and yolks in separate clean, dry mixing bowls.
• NOTE: It's important to make sure the bowl containing the whites in particular is very clean and completely dry. Also, you need to make sure you don't have even a speck of yolk in with the whites or it will affect the consistency of the batter, which is key to making this drink really special.
• In a mixing bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), set to whipping the egg whites. We want them to end up very very thick, not just frothy.
• Once they've thickened up a bit, begin adding ½ cup of the confectioner's sugar, a spoonful at a time. Continue whipping until very stiff peaks form. You want the whites to be so thick that they wouldn't dump out of the bowl if you turned it upside down. This might take as long as 10 minutes, depending on your mixer, etc. Just keep whipping!
• In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the remaining confectioner's sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Whisk to combine well.
• When your whites are super stiff, add the yolk mixture to the whites and fold gently to combine. Do not whisk this mixture and do not beat it or stir it with any kind of vigor. It's meant to be really thick, at least as thick as cake batter, and over mixing or whisking will make it thin and runny.
• Each drink is prepared individually when you're ready to serve.
• Start by warming your mugs by filling them with hot water and allowing it to set for 30 seconds or so. Then dump out the water and spoon a generous amount of batter into each mug.
• For smaller mugs like mine shown here, about two tablespoons is appropriate. T
• Then add your rum and brandy.
• Finally, pour hot water over top until the mug is full.
• Add a bit of freshly grated nutmeg on top and serve with a little spoon or an ice cream stick.
