Directions
Beat egg whites until stiff. Add salt. Beat egg yolks until light. Cream butter with the powdered sugar. Mix until crumbly. Add egg yolks and vanilla, mix well. Add spices. Add egg whites and mix well. Batter will keep 3-4 weeks in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it.
This is a great recipe for a typical Tom and Jerry, but at my house we mix it with warm milk! My making this batter is what kicks off the holiday season for my family and once I start making it, the boys won’t let me stop until spring!
Notes

While sitting in church on a very cold January morning, Jacob and T.J. are whispering to the other couple sitting behind us that as soon as they get home, their Mom is going to make them a Tom and Jerry to warm them up good. If you could have seen the faces of that couple!
