Eggnog

Here is the recipe for eggnog we used this year as emailed to me by my mom. Make sure that you turn off the burner when you’re done cooking, or you’ll end up with a thin lumpy custard instead of a drink.

Recipe By: Better Homes and Garden
Yield: 4 cups

1/3 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1/4  teaspoon salt
4 cups milk
2 egg whites
3 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
whipping cream
nutmeg

Beat together 1/3 cup of sugar and 2 egg yolks.  Add salt and milk.  Heat on the stove at medium heat stirring constantly until the mixture starts to coat the spoon.  Mom and I watch for bubbles to form at the edge of the pot.  Cool (if you want).
Beat egg whites and slowly add the 3 teaspoons of sugar.  Beat to soft peaks.  Add vanilla.
Fold egg white mixture into milk mixture.
Serve warm or cold with a dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with a bit of ground nutmeg.
