RONDY HOT Buttered Rum

[mgutman]

After the 2012 Winter Rondy, I was asked for my hot buttered rum recipe. Here it is:

RONDY HOT BUTTERED RUM

1 lb. butter, softened
1 lb. brown sugar
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1-2 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. cinnamon
Bottle of Rum
Boiling water
GARNISH (optional): cinnamon and nutmeg

NOTE: this produces quite a bit of "batter". You can easily half this and have plenty.

Cream together butter and sugars. Add ice cream and spices. Cream all together so well mixed. Freeze the batter and store until needed. Serve with 2 TableSpoons batter into each mug. Add Rum to tasted and finish with boiling water. Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg on top if you'd like. Serve while hunkered down in a heated tipi in the middle of a snow storm.

The New England version uses maple sugar rather than brown sugar.

the recipe given in Northwest Passage by Kenneth Roberts described a way to make it back in the 1700s. After reading it I went a month of having some everyday. It was december and I think by the end of the month I consumed more then 2 pounds of butter. YMMV.

Also the book is worth reading even without the recipe, Its about Roberts Rangers, the French and Indian War, artists, and exploration. One of the best books I've read
