Quick Hot Rum With the winter coming around and cold nights starting to get to even us here in California, I think it's time I made a new batch of Hot Rum Batter, as follows: 1 lb unsalted butter 1 lb white sugar 1 lb brown sugar 1 qt good vanilla ice cream Let the butter and ice cream soften, and cream the butter with the sugars. Mix in the ice cream. Put the batter into your freezer and wait for a cold night. When a cold night comes around, get a big mug and put some water on to boil. Get a big dollop, about 2 Tbs, of the batter out of the freezer and into the mug. You may have to stir up the batter a bit since the butter can float to the top of the batter. Add an ounce or two of rum and stir a bit. Add about 8 oz of boiling water and stir a bit more. Very quick to warm you up on a cold night. Enjoy.
