Tom and Jerry Batter Recipe: A Classic Holiday Drink

Ingredients

• 12 large eggs, separated, divided
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 pounds confectioners' sugar
• 1 pound butter, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. When you lift the beater, the egg whites should maintain their shape, indicating stiff peaks.
2. In a separate large bowl, beat the egg yolks until smooth.
3. In another large bowl, cream together confectioners' sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Incorporate the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and beaten egg whites until everything is well combined.
4. Spoon the batter generously onto your favorite drink.
