HOLIDAY EGGNOG RECIPE

Hey Hounders, Shelby Belle here with one of our special holiday recipes for people.  It's one of our dad's favorites.  He says that y'all should seriously consider doubling the recipe so ya get twice as much of the finished product.  If y'all do this right you shouldn't be tasting and driving or y'all might get in a wee bit of trouble should ya get caught:

CLASSIC ALCOHOLIC HOLIDAY EGGNOG

Ingredients Required:

6 eggs (separated yokes & whites)

1 cup of granulated white sugar.

1 pint of a good cognac.

1 cup of light rum (any kind not flavored)

2 quarts of light cream

½ cup of confectioner’s sugar (white powdered sugar)

Recipe:

You will need a bowl in which to mix the egg whites and confectioner’s sugar and a second larger bowl in which to mix the egg yokes and then in which to combine the egg whites mixture and all of the other ingredients.

With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in a bowl until they are foamy. 

Continue beating the foamy egg whites while gradually adding the confectioner’s sugar until soft “standing” peaks will form in the mixture.

Beat the egg yokes in a second larger bowl until the mixture is thick. 

Gradually beat the granulated sugar into the thickened egg yoke mixture.  Stir in the cognac and rum. 

Blend in 1+1/2 quarts of the light cream.

Gently stir the egg white mixture into the egg yoke mixture and the stir in the remaining ½ quart of the light cream to complete the eggnog.

Refrigerate the eggnog for at least an hour, preferably over night.

Serve cold.  As a variant, a frozen pint of vanilla ice cream may be “floated” in the serving bowl.

Us/We (whichever is correct) Bumpass Hounds (and kitties) sincerely hope that all of y'all from the good ole US of A have a very happy, and safe, Thanksgiving Day no matter where y'all may find yourselves.  To all our troops....Thank you for your service and God speed.
