Egg Nog



1/3 cup Sugar

2 egg yolks

¼ teaspoon salt

4 cups milk - whole milk works best

2 egg whites

3 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Brandy or rum flavoring to taste

½ cup whipping cream, whipped

Ground nutmeg



Beat 1/3 cup sugar into egg yolks. Add salt; stir in milk. Cook over medium
heat, stirring constantly, till mixture coats spoon. (I like to go a little
past. Makes for thicker nog.) Cool. Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually
add 3 tablespoons sugar, beating to soft peaks. Add to custard and mix
thoroughly. Add vanilla and flavoring. Chill 3-4 hours. Pour into punch bowl
or cups. Dot with island of whipped cream; dash with nutmeg.



Serves 6 to 8.



We do not use the flavorings as mentioned. If using the flavorings makes
excellent non-alcoholic beverage( we do use at church functions). At home
rum, brandy or liquor of choice is added.
