Add the rum and batter to a mug. Fill with boiling water and stir.
*Hot Buttered Rum Batter
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 lb Butter, at room temperature
- 1 lb Brown sugar
- 1 lb Sugar
- 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Ground cloves
- 1 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1 qt Vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
PREPARATION:
Add all the ingredients except the ice cream to a bowl and stir to combine. Add the ice cream and stir again. Transfer to a container with a lid, seal and store in the freezer. (Ideally, the batter is prepared at first frost and finished before the robins arrive. Bring it out for parties, or whenever the temperature drops below 25 degrees.)
I’ve been making this same batter for 25 years…it’s the best. I make a large quantity and freeze it in Mason jars and give them as gifts. I’ve never had one returned.
I love me some rum, but seriously….this receipe calls for 3 lbs plus a quart of ice cream….how about some more manageable porortions ??
The recipe yields a lot, but you’re not meant to use it all at once! It’ll keep for months in the freezer—just scoop out a tablespoon anytime you have a hankering for Hot Buttered Rum. And you can definitely halve or quarter the batter recipe if you’d like.
Yeah. That’s what keeps me away from this. I’d need a party of about 60 people to make that much batter.
