A mug of hot buttered rum is a delicious holiday treat and a great way to fortify your soul against the cold. Try it this weekend!
Begin with:
1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
pinch cloves
pinch salt
Add all of the above ingredients to a small bowl and beat with an electric mixer until it forms a batter.
To prepare, put 2 heaping tablespoons of batter in each mug. Then add:
2 oz. dark spiced rum
6 oz. boiling water
Stir until batter dissolves. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!
