My dad used to make the best Tom & Jerrys that he served every Christmastime and New Years Day. We children could only have the batter, but did we ever love it! I don't know if I've ever posted the recipe - and be warned, it has raw eggs.

DAD'S FAMOUS TOM & JERRYS
12 large eggs -- separated
1 box powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
This batter is easier to work with using half the eggs at a time.
In a medium bowl, mix 6 egg yolks with ¼ of the box of powdered sugar.
In a large bowl, whip 6 egg whites with ¼ of the box of powdered sugar to stiff peaks.
Fold the yolks/powdered sugar mixture into the whites until incorporated. Add the vanilla, gently combining.
Have ready a container with 1/2 rum and 1/2 brandy - however much you think you're going to imbibe.
Put 1 1/2 jiggers of rum/brandy mix in a cup; add 2-3 T. of the egg mixture and fill w/boiling water, stirring to combine. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
Inhale the wonderful aromas, then enjoy!!
Description:
There was nothing my Dad enjoyed more than to have a houseful of friends and relatives around him and a New Year's Day never went by without my Dad whipping up batches of Tom & Jerrys -- we kids just loved to scoop up some of the batter, when we thought he wasn't looking..., but, he always made sure there was enough for us to 'taste'."
NOTES : These days, you'll have to decide if raw eggs are safe for your use.

Man, these are the best things in the world!!! But, be careful, like Denise's jello shooters, you can be under the table quickly!!
