Well, after a week of -4 to -13 I was craving a hot buttered rum. Anyone else here like them?

I never had it! My pap used to buy the royal butter rum candies, they were like toffee

I enjoy one every now and again.

Enlighten me....what is it ...and how you make it ?

Well, it’s rum with a mixer, which is a batter made beforehand.





Batter is:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice or ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

For the cocktails:
2 cups water
1 cup dark rum, or more, lol….
2 cups whipped cream, optional
4 cinnamon sticks

INSTRUCTIONS
        Place 1 stick unsalted butter in a medium heatproof bowl (or stand mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment) and let sit at room temperature until softened.
        Add 2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice or ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until fluffy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
        Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a kettle or medium saucepan. Let the water cool slightly so it isn’t actively bubbling, about 30 seconds. Carefully pour the water into the butter mixture. Add 1 cup dark rum and beat with the mixer on medium speed until the butter is dissolved and the mixture is frothy, 1 to 2 minutes.
        Divide between 4 mugs. Top with whipped cream if desired. Sprinkle with more freshly grated nutmeg. Garnish each mug with a cinnamon stick.

I never heard of that before. I’ll give it a try!

Sounds good, but too much work. I’ll just take swigs from the bottle.

Interesting

It’s very good, in small doses. Kinda like the Christmas season.



Totally understand that, lol.

Sounds good
