Egg Nog Recipe

[ClendonsWife]

Does anyone have a good egg nog recipe (and easy) they would like to share with the rest of us. Clendon is not a fan so I end up buying the crap in the grocery store and "watering" it down with a little Captain Morgans Spiced Rum. I know utee94 married in to a good family recipe, perhaps he is willing to share in the spirit of the season...:-D

is this easy enough??


12 eggs, separated
6 cups milk
2 cups heavy/ thickened cream
2 cups bourbon
1+ ½ cups sugar
¾ cup brandy
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
In a large bowl and using a mixer, beat the egg yolks together with the sugar for approx 10 minutes (you want the mixture to be firm and the colour of butter).
Very slowly, add in the bourbon and brandy - just a little at a time.
When bourbon and brandy have been added, allow the mixture to cool in the fridge (for up to 6 hours, depending on how long before your party you're making the eggnog).
30 minutes before your guests arrive, stir the milk into the chilled yolk mixture.
Stir in 1+ ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream with a mixer on high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks.
In yet another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture.
Gently fold the cream into the egg mixture.
After ladling into cups, garnish with the remainder of the ground nutmeg.
Serves: 8.

Do I need to make it for you?? The only thing that will be difficult is to separate the egg yolks from the whites.

Thank you, but no, you are too kind! I will revist when I get some time off work. I will need something to keep me busy and out of Clendon's hair while is is working. Why not seperate a few eggs? :)

I recommend the grocery store mix. It would be fun to make the mix and sample the ingredients while doing so. Not sure of the results though.

Eggselent !!!! LOL

For a small batch:

14 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1.5 quarts light cream
1 Fifth of bourbon
1 cup of dark rum

1) Cream egg yolks with sugar. Add whiskey. (Papa always said the whiskey "cooked the eggs.") Pour this into a large container.
2) Whip cream, pour into the large container and stir to blend
3) Whip egg whites and pour into large container, stir to blend.
4) Place container in large pan filled with ice to keep it chilled

Keep stirred as you serve since the cream tends to rise to the top. Add a dash of fresh-grated nutmeg to the top of each cup to lend a little spice. Keep it Chilled.

and Uncle George's final instruction for his famous eggnog:

"Remember that it should be strong-- as weak egg nog is insipid."


Hope that helps!

Thanks! I can almost taste it, literally and figuratively!

Why separate the eggs if it all goes into the large container? Probably a stupid question, but oh well.

[utee94]

Not a stupid question at all, but it's because the yolks and whites whip differently. It makes a big difference in consistency.

[utee94]

One other thing, you can do all of the above ahead of time and refrigerate overnight. My wife usually makes a huge batch, and mixes it in a kitchen-sized trash can (a very clean one of course, its only purpose in life is to be used for our annual eggnog party). Then the nog is poured into multiple gallon containers and refrigerated overnight. A quick shake of the gallon container before pouring into the punch bowl for serving and you're good to go.

And really, we don't even bother icing down the serving bowl. The nog never lasts long enough to warrant it!

Like Clendon, I always hated eggnog, because all I'd ever had was the store-bought kind. Now, I love the stuff, as long as it's Uncle George's recipe-- and it's not JUST because of all the booze in it!
