This family tradition involved even the kids at New Year's Eve. They got to help make it even if they didn't get to drink it. The beauty of this recipe is that every ingredient is one measure, which makes it easy to remember. Everybody from the great-grandparents to fraternity brothers have loved this one. I prefer Bourbon, but any whiskey, rum, brandy could be substituted. (If you use vodka, please don't tell me!) The old folks claimed the original recipe called for a Quart of Whiskey, but a pint is perfect.
Ingredients
- 1 quart milk
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 12 eggs yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pint whiskey
- 12 eggs whites
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg

In a large bowl, blend the milk, cream, egg yolks, vanilla and whiskey using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar while continuing to whip until stiff. Fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, and pour into a punch bowl or large pitcher. Serve in mugs or cups garnished with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

Samoan Panikeke
My brothers and I used to eat Samoan pancakes when we were younger. I recently started making them for my family, and I enjoy them as much today as I did back then! They're a lot like doughnuts, but you can top them with butter, jam, chocolate syrup, powdered sugar, and even ice cream.
Chef John's Easy Apple Pie
This apple pie is not your typical dessert. The filling is caramelized apples held together with a very glossy, just-thick-enough apple syrup.
