As promised last week, I spent a fair amount of time in the kitchen this weekend. The first experiment was to try the popular beverage of witches and wizards: butterbeer. I found a recipe on one of my favorite food blogs, Ezra Pound Cake.
I'll tell you right now that while I fully believe this is a good buttebeer recipe, I'm not sure I'll make it again. And since it has about 98398739 calories, that's probably a good thing. The end result is a creamy, butterscotchy beer beverage. If I could not make the beer part, I think it would be even better. But then it's basically homemade butterscotch eggnog. Because I didn't like the beer part that much, I used very little of it, which is why my glass here looks so pale compared to the one from the original recipe.
But the butterscotch cream is pretty tasty, and you could probably cut it with some cream soda to make a nice, though admittedly less buttery, drink.
