Add sugar to which the flour has been added and cook in a double boiler until slightly thickened. It will be thicker when it cools. Beat the remaining two egg whites and fold into hot custard. Custard added to egg whites makes a smoother custard than egg whites added to custard. Add vanilla and chill. This was my great-grandmother Bessie's recipe, which my grandmother still makes at Christmas. Excellent with just a little nutmeg sprinkled on the top.<<< >>>Eggnog 6 eggs 1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 3/4 cup brandy 1/3 cup dark rum (Captain Morgan for best flavor, but Myers is OK) 2 cups whipping cream 2 cups milk All liquids should be very cold. Refrigerate in advance. Beat the eggs for 2 or 3 minutes with an electric mixer at medium speed until very frothy. Gradually beat in the sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Turn the mixer off and stir in the cold brandy, rum, whipping cream and milk Chill before serving. Sprinkle individual servings with more nutmeg. Makes about 2-1/2 quarts.<<<

Originally Posted By melekalikimaka from the Middle East. Custard is just the term for cooked eggs and milk or cream. Quiche is a custard, pudding is often a custard, pastry cream is also a custard. The only difference between custard and eggnog (other than differences in ingredient portions) are some eggnogs are cooked and some are raw. Well, I think that is the difference. LOL I prefer the raw eggnog. Cooking it makes it too thick. Store bought eggnog is way too thick and chemical tasting.
Originally Posted By melekalikimaka Rarely is "boiled" an appetizing word. Plus, I'm not sure you really boil a custard too much. It could turn to scrambled eggs if you aren't really careful. Mmmm, sweet boiled scrambled eggs!
