Ingredients

  • HOT CIDER SYRUP
  • 3/4 cup apple cider or juice
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup whole milk
