Have A Sip Of: Hot Buttered Rum


The batter alone is simply divine. This is my mom's recipe and even though I do not consider Rum a tasty treat, you can't go wrong with this at the holidays. I am not implying your holidays will be improved by large consumptions of rum, but should you need a sip to help you relax, here is an antidote even St. Nick would imbibe on. Enjoy.


HOT BUTTERED RUM MIX

1 pound butter (I use Land O Lakes)
1 pound brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp nutmeg
1 quart vanilla ice cream 

Cream sugar and butter until fluffy, add 1 quart partly melted ice cream. Mix well. Store covered in the freezer.  In a mug add 1 shot of rum (I use Cruzin Clipper 151 proof. Have also used Captain Morgan's Spiced). 2 heaping tablespoons of mix (or to taste) and boiling water. Scrape fresh nutmeg on the top.

    Sounds good even without the rum. I love anything that involves a pound of butter! :)

    "divine" is always good!

    I'm worried about the 'Rum' 'cause I don't drink strong drink...but topping it off with 'nutmeg' may just be the trick!

    Seriously - those ingredients are dessert for the week or the month! I can't think of anything that wouldn't taste better mixed with them...except maybe hamburger.
