Hot Buttered Rum Batter Mix Drink

Submitted by NorthwestGal

"This is such an old recipe that has been in my family for so long that I cannot remember its history. So many of our family recipes come from my grandparents who, during World War II, had to cook and bake without certain ingredients that were often rationed during wartime. It seems to me that this might be one of those recipes. The mix produces a very rich and tasty batter that you can keep in your refrigerator and take out on those cold winter evenings when you want a creamy Hot Buttered Rum drink to take away the chill after spending a cold day playing or working in the snow. It's great mix to use for a holiday party or any large gathering during the winter when hot beverages are appreciated. And what's better than the classic Hot Buttered Rum !!"

This was lovely NWG. It made a wonderfully smooth drink. It was hot, creamy, silky, subtley spiced and very warming. I loved the flavor. I used a dark rum and garnished with a cinnamon stick for stirring. Thanks so much for sharing.
