Eggnog Recipe

[Charlene1234]

Kid approved... and simple to make. Not a fancy recipe, but since my kids drink this like water, it's cheap and yummy, plus a good way to use up eggs! I think if you'd like it thick, like from the store, you could use whipping cream for some of the milk, whip it then fold in.

6 eggs
4 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
6 Tbs. Sugar
6 dashes of nutmeg
6 dashes of salt

Makes about 5 cups of Eggnog.

Blend and enjoy. Got this from an old Egg Recipe book... 1951. Culinary Arts Institute

Cool! Such a simple recipe, I actually have that stuff on hand!

We used one like that, no salt though.

Yes, this one is simple. Like I said, it's not the fanciest, but I had all the ingredients on hand and it's probably the simplest!

I don't worry about my eggs right now (especially with the temps around 30 degrees). They come out of the chicken and they're in the eggnog in a couple hours.

Better yet, do what I did last night- seperate your eggs. Get everything mixed together with the yolks, whip the whites to stiff peaks, then gently mix the whites in by 1/3's. Some heavy cream makes it good too.
