1. OH GOD I love boiled custard, the teetotaler's egg nog

LOL, we always had custard and coconut cake and ambrosia for dessert at Christmas. YUM>>>

Egg nog is supposed to be made w/raw eggs and whiskey or rum, which cooks the eggs. Well the teetotalers couldn't have that so they invented drinkable boiled custard.

Except, my old lady relatives had to have that teaspoon of "flavoring" in their cup of custard, guess what the flavoring was???


You got it: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey


gotta love it.

Making me want to make some!!!!!
(I don't like whiskey so I drink mine plain)
I hate commercial brands, too much nutmeg)

2. I drink mine straight as well.

I don't know what that stuff is they sell in the super markets is. It says egg nog but it taste like an old shoe. Here's my recipe...

Gallon of 2% milk
10 eggs
scant 3 cups of sugar
4 tablespoons of flour
1 teaspoon of real vanilla

Heat milk at a medium temp. In a large bowl mix the eggs, sugar and flour. Add mixture slowly to milk. Continue to heat custard until near boil stirring constantly. When ready the custard will coat a spoon. Remove from heat, put in large bowl and let cool. Add vanilla at any time and whisk a few times as a skin will form. I like to strain mine when pouring in containers. Refrigerate after cooled.

3. looks pretty much same as the recipe I have always used.

I haven't made it in years. My Texas family doesn't like it, so I don't bother.

Another old tradition from my Kentucky Christmas days.
