Ingredients

• 12 Whole Eggs, Separated
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Pound Butter
• 3 Pounds Powdered Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/8 Teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1/8 Teaspoon Cloves
• 1/8 Teaspoon Allspice

Directions

1. Beat egg whites and salt until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape.
2. Beat the egg yolks to soft peaks in a separate bowl. Beat the butter and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla to the butter mixture; mix. Stir in the nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and the egg whites; beat until well blended. Batter can be frozen or kept in refrigerator for several weeks.
3. To make a Tom and Jerry, place a shot of spiced rum or brandy in a mug and fill with hot water. Stir in 1 heaping spoon of batter. Sprinkle with nutmeg if desired.
