The famous eggnog: recipes that conquered the world

No one knows for certain the inventor of this drink, but eggnog is “overgrown” with legends about its origin. There are several versions of its appearance. The homeland of Gogol-mogul is called England, Germany and Poland. Having delved a little into its history, you can find out that its invention is attributed to the German confectioner M. Keckenbauer. Another version of the legend tells about a singer from the choir of the synagogue in Mogilev (Mogel), whose last name is Gogel. Having lost his voice, he was afraid of losing his place and in long thought a recipe came to his mind that helped him and was named after his last name and place of origin. The Polish version of the legend speaks of Countess B. Potocka, who used eggnog in a slightly different version, replacing some ingredients.

Be that as it may, the classic recipe for the drink has survived to this day, as well as its variants with various flavoring additives.

We've all heard about eggnog - it's found in children's books and classic works, but how many have actually tried it? It turns out that eggnog is an amazing delicacy and an excellent medicine that even children enjoy taking. The recipe for eggnog is very simple, but there are a lot of variations. Today we will share one of them. The secret is that there are no raw eggs in our recipe.

In this article:

Ingredients

• Egg – 12 pcs;
• Sugar or syrup - 1.5 cups;
• Salt – 0.5 teaspoon;
• Milk – 1 l;
• Vanilla extract – 2 tsp;
• Nutmeg (grated) – 1 tsp;
• Cream 33% - 1 cup or ready-made whipped cream.

Cooking process

Take a 3 liter saucepan and break the eggs into it.

Pour sugar into the pan with the eggs.

Add salt there too.

Beat with a fork or whisk.

Pour in half the milk and mix well.

While you stir, get into a festive mood, imagine the happy faces of your household. After all, no one has ever resisted the magic of eggnog prepared according to this recipe.

To prepare delicious eggnog, it is very important not to let it boil. If you have an infrared thermometer at home that instantly determines the temperature of not only the body, but also the liquid (these are easy to find among young parents who worry about their child and meticulously measure the temperature of the water every time they bathe), check the temperature of the dessert. Ideally, it should be about 80˚C. If you don't have a thermometer, trust your intuition. But remember, eggnog is a delicate drink and should not be allowed to boil.

When the eggnog mixture is ready, pour it through a sieve into a heatproof bowl.

All harmful lumps remained in the sieve, and the consistency of our dessert will be homogeneous and melting in your mouth.

Now add vanilla extract or a couple of vanillin packets. And stir.

If you have a whole nutmeg, grate it into the same bowl. If not, add ground nutmeg.

Pour in the remaining milk and stir. Refrigerate for at least three hours or until completely cool.

When our eggnog has frozen, you can whip the cream.

Add cream (freshly whipped or prepared) to the bowl of eggnog and pour into pretty glasses.

Gogol-mogol looks great in mulled wine glasses. The dessert can be decorated with the remaining whipped cream and grated nutmeg.

And a couple more tips on how to make your holiday drink even more memorable.

• Adults can add a little rum or skate.
• Sophisticated housewives can use maple or berry syrup instead of usually sugar or syrup, then the eggnog will have an additional flavor.
• If you decide to whip the cream yourself, leave a little sugar or syrup for whipping to prevent the eggnog from becoming cloying.
