Eggnog (Scottish Version of Eggnog)
Baking and Desserts • Scottish
Description
If it did boil in the third step, you can fix it by blending everything in a blender. Also, usually, something more complex is replaced with something simpler. But for me, it's the opposite: instead of cloves, nutmeg, and other spices, I used a spice mix for mulled wines and punches from KOTANI (in a packet). It turned out very aromatic and delicious.
Ingredients
- Whole egg 4 pieces
- Sugar 5 oz
- Milk 15 fl oz
- Cinnamon a pinch
- 10% cream 5 fl oz
- Clove 2 pieces
- Nutmeg 1 teaspoon
- Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
- Bourbon 1 tablespoon
- Egg white 4 pieces
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk the yolks with a whisk or mixer until they lighten in color. Slowly add the sugar. Whisk everything well.
Step 2
Combine the milk, cloves, and cinnamon in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Slowly heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Step 3
Mix the milk with the eggs. Cook the entire mixture over medium heat, avoiding boiling. Remove from heat and add the cream.
Step 4
Strain through a sieve to remove the cloves. Cool down.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract, nutmeg, and alcohol (you can simply omit it for children).
Step 6
Optional: Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. With a teaspoon of sugar, whisk to stiff peaks and fold into the eggnog.
