Tom and Jerry

First prepare batter, using mixing bowl.

Separate the yolk and white of 1 egg, beating each separately and thoroughly.

Then combine both, adding enough superfine powdered sugar to stiffen.

Add to this 1 pinch of baking soda and 1/4 oz.

Boston Imported Rum to preserve the batter.

Then add a little more sugar to stiffen.

To serve, use hot Tom and Jerry mug, using 1 tablespoon of above batter, dissolved in 3 tablespoons hot milk.

Add 1 1/2 oz.

Boston Imported Rum.

Then fill mug with hot milk within 1/4 inch of top of mug and stir gently.

Then top with 1/2 oz.

Boston California Brandy and grate a little nutmeg on top.

The secret of a Tom and Jerry is to have a stiff batter and a warm mug.
