Momma's Homemade Eggnog
Ingredients:
4 cups whole milk
1 can evaporated milk (cream)
2 cups sugar
2 tbs. cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla
2 egg yolks (some people might use more eggs but Momma never did like
eggs so - plus this is better for your cholesterol too).
Nutmeg to taste
Optional:
Best whiskey or bourbon you got in the house
Directions
Place milk in a heavy pot and allow it to heat slowly over a low heat.
Occasionally stir the milk after it begins to heat. Be careful not to
let boil.
While the milk is heating, place the egg yokes in a medium size bowl and
blend in the sugar. Add the sugar slowly and cream the mixture good each
time you add more sugar. Add the cornstarch after adding all the sugar.
If needed, you can add a little of the heated milk to make the eggs,
sugar, and cornstarch easier to mix. The milk should be warm now.
Continue heating the milk to make it hot. Again, be careful not to let
the milk boil. Add more milk to the egg, sugar, cornstarch mixture to
make it liquid enough to pour. Stir the pot constantly while pouring the
egg mixture into the pot of hot milk. You want to mix it good.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the evaporated milk, then stir
in the vanilla and nutmeg. It's better to let the homemade eggnog sit a
few minutes for the flavors to blend.
Pour the eggnog into the serving cups or glasses, and if preferred, add
a teaspoonful of so of some good whiskey of bourbon.
Serve with love. Angelique.
