Powdered sugar
1 pn Baking soda
1/4 oz Rum
Sugar to stiffen

-TO SERVE –
1 tb Above batter
3 tb Hot milk
1 1/2 oz Rum
Hot water
1/2 oz Brandy
Nutmeg

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. rum to preserve the batter. Then add a little more sugar
to stiffen. To serve, use hot Tom and Jerry mug, using 1 tbl. of above
batter, dissolved in 3 tbl. hot milk. Add 1-1/2 oz. of rum. Then fill mug
to within 1/4 inch of top of mug and stir gently. Then top with 1/2 oz.
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.
