-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar and cup water to a boil.
-
Place the eggs in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. When sugar reaches about 230 on the candy thermometer, whip the eggs at high speed.
-
When sugar reaches 240 remove it from heat immediately, and with the mixer running, add it to your eggs in a steady stream.
-
Continue to whip eggs until no heat remains in the bowl on medium-high speed until stiff but not dry; do not overbeat.
-
With the mixer still running, add your butter bit by bit, whipping until spreadable, 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Add rum, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add your brandy (to taste) with a whisk, and then fold in your freshly grated nutmeg and cinnamon.
Congratulations you did it!
