Ever wanted to combine eggs and wine to create a hot lumpy abomination? Of course you have! Here's what you'll need:
1 egg
1 teaspoon and a half of sugar
A sherry glass of sherry (about 180ml or 6 fl. oz)
90ml of water (3 fl. oz)
Grated nutmeg
1. Beat the egg and a tablespoon of water together.
2. In a pan, heat the sherry and remaining water together. Bring it to a simmer, but don't let it boil.
3. Pour the sherry/water mixture over the egg, stirring the whole time.
4. Add sugar and nutmeg to the mixture and combine.
5. Return to the pan and gently heat, but don't let it boil until it begins to thicken. Stir continuously.
6. Once it has begun to thicken, take it off the heat and pour into a glass.
7. If you hate yourself you could follow Mrs Beeton's suggestion to serve this cold, or with toast.
