Southern Boiled Custard Ingredients4 eggs at room temperature 1 cup of sugar 1 quart of whole milk 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla 2 shots of Marker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon or Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey Beat eggs and sugar together until light in color. Set aside. Using a double boiler, put water into the lower pot and milk in the top pot. Heat the milk over medium heat and stir slowly (I suggest using a wooden spooon). Do not allow the milk to boil. Once you start to see steam coming from the milk, slowly add the egg and sugar mixture to the milk while stirring constantly. Do not allow the custard to boil or you will have sweet scrambled eggs. When the custard coats the back of the spooon, add the vanilla and 2 shots (or more) of Maker's Mark or Jack Daniel's. Stir the custard one last time, then remove from heat. Pour the custard into another container and allow it to cool in the refrigerator for an hour. Then you are good to go. Why is it called Boiled Custard if you are not suppose to let it boil? I don't know. *lol* Finally, if you don't want to bother with making this drink but would like to try it, Purity Dairies sells Boiled Custard and it is delicious. But, I'm not sure if Purity sells outside of the Southeast. *I know the word "spooon" is spelled incorrectly. For some strange and unknown reason, when I submit this post, it reads "sthingy." I had to put 3 letter o's in spooon to get it to read in a way that would be understandable. And, no, I have not had any Southern boiled custard this morning. *lol* I've had problems with the spoon thing also. It remains a mystery. I guess it translates to a dirty word in an alternate universe. Obviously, the electronic censors never considered the urgency of the Drink of the Day.

Nikster, I think your recipe is one I have been hunting for for years. My Grandmotehr used to make that for us and serve it to us on toast for breakfast or dessert (I am sure it was without the booze as she had no money to buy it). She lived in a small mining town in West Virginia and was very poor. I always loved this and could never find a recipe that sounded right. We just called it custard. She also made the best homemade apple butter. I thnk you very much for this. Can't wait to try it out. Being in the southeast, I will also look for Putiry Dairy products.. I bet a touch of Southern Comfort or Wild Turkey liquoir couldn't hurt...

Southern Comfort does not mix well with Mello Yello. You're just going to have to trust me on this one Gary.

The soft drink. I'm not real partial to the tune either.

It's hard to duplicate a grandmother's recipe. Grandmothers always add love to the food they cook, which makes the food taste wonderful. When someone else makes the same recipe, it just taste a bit different (not bad, but not a duplicate of grandma's cooking).

How well do these drinks pair with spam? I think that depends on where you are. If you're in Hawaii, EVERYTHING goes with spam! (Probably because you don't care, cause your in, well, Hawaii!)

Nikster - that recipe sounds awesome! It also sounds really close to the "hard sauce" you pour over bread pudding when you serve it. Do you think your recipe would work for that?

Gaidin, I am starting to feel really old. When I was in private practice, all attorneys kept a bottle in their right hand lower desk drawer. IIRC, it was a requirement of the State Bar at the time, helped with negotiations, don't ya know??

Bart it also helped calm an attorney's nerves when he had an extra late night working on a trial brief or prepping for trial.

Are you allowed to get the claimants lickered up? Is that an acceptable way of calming the belligerent claimant?
PTB -- Yes, I am joking.

Yeah, now at least in the criminal defense circles I run in, we keep our bottles right out in the open, within arm's reach. Not even those fancy bar globes... In the military, I had a boss who would drink his whiskey, straight, from his coffee mug all day long, but at 3 pm, the bottle came out for all.

I still keep a bottle or two in my office -- but they're airline sized and at least 8 years old. Haven't had any emergencies necessitating breaking the seal.
