Betty's Festive Holiday Eggnog Recipe

[canadiancatgreen]

hi I am a friend of Canadiancatgreen and have a question or more I want to confirm that this is correct

I want to make this the best way so can I leave the alcohol which would mean it is way way better?

[lphoes]

Dear Betty,

Do you use the whole egg or do you split it in 2 (egg yolk / protein)

Greetings from the Netherlands!!

Happy hollidays everyone.

[bettyskitchen]

@lphoes Hi Remon! I use the whole egg--both parts together.

--Betty :)

[SHAHADALOCKETT]

Another recipe turned out great Betty,:} my children loved it!!!! lol...{of course non alchol}Love you so much.Please keep teaching.

[NoveltyFishHead]

If nutmeg is not around, I like to use ground cinnamon as an alternative (as well an addition to nutmeg).

[christina2581]

Hey, I have a few question for you

Question 1) What happens if you mix everything by hand and is that okay?

Question 2) Is the nutmeg a choice or do you have to?

Question 3) What do you mean by chilled?

I hope you can answer some of my questions

[bettyskitchen]

@christina2581 Mixing by hand is okay. Nutmeg is optional. Chilled = refrigerated.

--Betty :)

[zacl79]

im really looking forward to trying this when xmas rolls around!!!

[xhottestpink]

i still cant get over the fact that eggnog is raw eggs. ew. but i love drinking the noggy lol. could u possibly get sick from the raw eggs in homemade eggnog recipes?

[bettyskitchen]

@xhottestpink It isd not likely, but it is possible. You may substitute egg substitute, which is pasteurized to be sure there is no problem.

--Betty :)

[TomyHun]

Hmm... using sweetened condensed milk and whipped cream is a great idea. I'm sure it tastes really fluffy! :) I'mma go ahead and make it this weekend.

[Supersonic27100]

IS THIS Alcoholic? 

[bettyskitchen]

@Supersonic27100 It has an optional ingredient of rum. If you add it, then it's an alcoholic drink--but you may easily leave it out and have a nonalcoholic version.

--Betty :)

[PacoAIeman]

I recommend put some Cinammon on top once is served, (powder), and for rum i REALLY recommend "Havana 7" (white)

[bettyskitchen]

@PacoAIeman That sounds great!

--Betty :)

[CIDInterview]

BETTY IS BEAUUUUUUTIFUL

[bettyskitchen]

@CIDInterview Thanks for the sweet thought.

--Betty :)

[blacklabel67k]

You need to use a good video editor to help your videos go smoother. You can cut out mistakes and the like. Just a suggestion.

[ohpineapples]

Hi Betty! I just watched this & it looks wonderful! I don't see anything wrong with it at all. Infact, it looks really, really good with that sweetened condensed milk (yummy)! I just watched your other eggnog with eggbeaters & I like this one better =) Using eggs are fine don't worry. This is an aged old recipe & they didn't use eggbeaters way back in the old days.Could you imagine Oliva Walton in 1930's adding eggbeaters to hers?lol She used regular eggs. I LOVE this recipe! Thanks! Hugs!

[gaanaru98]

is whipping cream the same like dairy sour cream??

[bettyskitchen]

@gaanaru98 No, whipping cream is sometimes called sweet cream. It's just regular cream, but heavy so that it will beat well.

--Betty :)

[coolmint191]

thanks

[MrJoseppie123]

What's egg nog?

[bettyskitchen]

@MrJoseppie123 Eggnog is a sweetened dairy-based beverage traditionally made with milk and/or cream, sugar, beaten eggs (which gives it a frothy texture), and liquor. Brandy, rum, or whisky is generally added; and the finished serving would be garnished with a sprinkling of ground cinnamon or nutmeg.

--Betty :)

[derekbegins]

betty.. do you have a recipe that requires you to heat the milk and egg ?it's much more safer. because even if the egg is safe and intact,the salmonella can pierce through the shell of the egg.

[bettyskitchen]

@derekbegins I uploaded a video of Eggnog with Egg Substitute yesterday, in which the milk and egg gets heated.

--Betty :)

[Sweltering]

yummm thanks betty!!

[crissyxox12]

this is suchh a good recipe . i used it a couple days ago. thanks so much. xoxoxo

[BostonianLady]

Thank you Betty... I'm going to be doing homemade things this year for the holiday and eggnog is on the list... is there any way you can post the entire recipe here for everyone to see?

[ZacariasNaima]

Good bye man I am your naughty girl mworld5.info

[ashleybunify]

This looks so lovely Betty. Will have to give it a try.

[madpop17]

raw eggs? really?

[bettyskitchen]

@madpop17 Raw eggs are traditionally used in eggnog.  If you prefer not to use raw eggs (which are perfectly safe if completely intact), use can use pasteurized egg substitute.

--Betty :)

[lizaola4]

I never knew eggnog was made from raw eggs! But, I'm totally trying to make it this year!! Thanks for all your awesome videos!

[IanzGurrl]

betty, just curious... what did u do in that drawer after u washed ur hands?

[bettyskitchen]

@IanzGurrl The pulldown drawer on the front of the sink had a fresh, dry cloth, and I used it to pat some of the water off my hands.

--Betty :)

[sharmaine24]

why is this stuff so special to americans 

[bettyskitchen]

@sharmaine24 I think it's mainly traditional, more than anything else.

--Betty :)

[shortbusheros4]

@sharmaine24 it just tastes so goooooood!!!!

[chaneypga]

@sharmaine24 Why is soccer so special to the rest of the world? Who cares, it tastes good.

[sharmaine24]

@chaneypga i don't consider soccer special or any kind of footy as is loved in my country but i was curious as to why you people love it thats all

[ruthven78]

@sharmaine24 because its yummy

[sweetasblondehoney]

Hello Betty, I just wanted to know if you had a cookbook available. I'm becoming a Betty Crocker myself and would love to have your recipes.

[BlackSkullz09]

@sweetasblondehoney Yes she does look at her more recent vids and you will see at the end in the credits where you can purchase her book. It's called "A year's Cooking in Betty'sKitchen"

[bettyskitchen]

@sweetasblondehoney Yes, as noted eby BlackSkullz09, you can purchase my "A Year in bettyskitchen" cookbook from lulu.com. Just search the keyword; bettyskitchen. Thanks for your interest!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[candy1974309]

great video like always

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks, Candy!

--Betty :)

[tforeignguy]

Betty, what alcohols do you recommend for this recipe other than Rum?? thank you :)

[bettyskitchen]

I think it would be good with bourbon whisky. You probably can use any liquor that you really like.

--Betty :)

[tforeignguy]

Okayy thank you :D

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your comment! I can't wait to see AVATAR!

--Betty :)

[kipptumor]

Looks good!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! I hope you enjoy it!

--Betty :)

[tylerisntx123456]

What would happen if you didn't put whipping cream?

[bettyskitchen]

It wouldn't be a light, but it would still taste good! Thanks for your question!

--Betty :)

[Nos4a2ed]

were going to try this we would like to try it alcoholic but all we drink is baileys and advocat is rum going to be too much for us

[bettyskitchen]

You can cut down on the amount of rum. Or, you may enjoy it more using the liquors that you are already familiar with--It will be good either way!

--Betty :)

[daisyflower22]

Actually the ironic thing is i am not that familar with it atall! my friend who is from the U.S.A told me about it. So i read some information on it, and about its orgins!The one thing he didnt know is it was made from uncooked eggs! I have never tried it before, so i might just be brave and try it!

[bettyskitchen]

Lucy, it is safe, as long as the eggshells are completely intact--no cracks. It is delicious, and I think you will enjoy it!

--Betty :)

[SuchaCaligrrl]

Thanks Bety, you do not know how much money this will save me, my family drinks eggnog like it's water this can get expensive plus the stores run out quick during this time of the year. Now we can all make some together.

[bettyskitchen]

This is a great recipe if you want a lot! What I demonstrated was just half of the recipe, because there is just my husband and me to drink it--but I wrote out the full recipe for you! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[JimmyMacJones]

Excellent. :-)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks, Jimmy! I hope you enjoy the recipe! Have a wonderful day!

--Betty :)

[richardpeej]

That egg nog looks just lovely Betty mmmm! I would prefer the alcoholic version I think! :-)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! You can try it both ways--it tastes very good!

--Betty  :)

[ladyluv1000]

Thanks for your sweet comment! This one is easy and the taste is wonderful! Happy Holidays!

--Betty :)

[pinklill]

i choose the alcohol version x

thanks for another great recipe :D

[bettyskitchen]

The alcohol version is great--maybe a little heavy on the rum for such a small glass--but that's up to you! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[PointingTheWeigh]

That is a lovely festive drink!

I think I will be making that this Christmas

Thankyou!!

Love and hugs to you both xx

[usafireandrescue]

Wonderful recipe Betty! Homemade eggnog is so much better than the prepared kind in the grocery! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe! Love, love, love your hair! Happy Holidays to you and your family! Hugs..

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks, Amy! Thanks for your comment on the eggnog and also on my hair! I wish you the *best* of everything! Happy Holidays to you!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your comment on my hair, and also on the recipes! I hope you have a terrific weekend!

--Betty :)

[Heathmah]

For the people worried about the raw eggs: you can use pasteurized eggs if you are concerned about the freshness/safety of eggs in your area.If you are in the US, Egg Beaters brand is pasteurized, and I am sure there are other brands as well.

The recipe looks very good Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your compliment! Also, thank you *so* much for this clarification! I don't want anyone to be afraid of trying the recipe--but you have given everyone some options! Thanks!!!

--Betty :)

[simplysugar07]

omg ure hair looks amazing! egg nog looks delicious too

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks--on both accounts!

--Betty :)

[tuttle566]

Betty I will have mine with a splash of alcohol please haha.

This looks great didnt know that it was that simple to make.

Will have to try to do it myself for the holidays. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[bettyskitchen]

After I finished the video, my husband drank the eggnog with the alcohol. He said it was pretty stiff! Maybe I overdid it a bit for such a small glass! But, I think you will enjoy it, and I hope you make it! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[daisyflower22]

How much vanilla powder would i put in there Betty as i am unable to get vanilla extract?

[bettyskitchen]

Lucy,

In any recipe that calls for vanilla extract, substitute the same amount (teaspoon for teaspoon) of vanilla powder, and you will get the same taste!

--Betty :)

[daisyflower22]

EGGNOG originates from my native country England!

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Lucy!

I'm sure you are very familiar with eggnog! It is a lovely drink, isn't it? Thanks for commenting! I hope you and your family are well!

--Betty :)

[nedders60]

Let me just say this..I have made eggnog many times and not one person has gotten ill..looped, perhaps but never ill. lol. Great recipe Betty. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I hope everyone gets to enjoy a truly traditional holiday drink! Happy Thanksgiving to you!

--Betty :)

[hELLAsShining]

I love eggnog! Thank you!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for the wonderful comment! I have a lot of people that are worried about raw eggs! It is refreshing to hear from those of you who drink eggnog and enjoy it! BTW, you have an impressive page!

--Betty :)

[nswe2002]

looks yummy, but i'd be scared to drink raw eggs.

[bettyskitchen]

You can get eggs that are pasteurized if you are worried about them; however, there is very little danger in ordinary eggs, as long as you check to make sure there are no cracks in the shells. Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[misha50333]

Another favorite recipe of mine..thank you Betty. Oh and I adore your hair!!!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your compliments--on both accounts!

--Betty :)

[blessone48021]

Eggnog is my favorite holiday drink. I definitely will be making egg nog for the holidays. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe and Happy Holiday.

[bettyskitchen]

You are very welcome for the recipe! I hope you enjoy it! Happy Holidays to you!

--Betty :)

[theresa8042]

Your hair looks cute like that ! Egg nog is another of my husbands favorites. I made the meatloaf recipie the other day and my husband and i loved it ! I will definitaely try this one too! thanks again .

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your sweet comment! I'm glad your husband liked the meatloaf! I hope you will enjoy the eggnog! (Thanks for your comment on my hair, too!)

--Betty :)

[1965blaze]

i like your hair that way!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! I won't be wearing that way much! I'm getting a new "do" on Monday!

--Betty :)

[1965blaze]

great! cnt wait to see it.. btw i nade your stuffed burgers with cheese and onion they are awesome im eating now YUMMY and moist thanks again your a life saver!

[azngirl10588]

is it safe?

uncooked eggs?

[bettyskitchen]

It's safe, as long as you carefull screen the eggs that you use. Do you ever order Caesar salad or French Silk Pie? --Raw eggs! (but delicious and safe!)

--betty  :)

[VideoViper]

wow..un-cooked eggs, is that safe you think?

[azngirl10588]

i found out after i comented on this it is safe if it's well beaten very well beaten

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for checking this out! I wouldn't want to discourage people from having a wonderful holiday drink by making them wary of its contents!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Uncooked eggs are safe--just be sure that the shell is completely intact with no crack to let impurities in! Eggnog dates way back and has traditionally been made with raw eggs with few ill effects. In most countries eggs are safer now than they ever have been, due to stricter guideline on safety.

--Betty :)
