The best Tom and Jerry Batter!

"Winter's coming and there's nothing better on a cold snowy night than a good Tom & Jerry! After trying several other batters we have determined this one is the best - the marshmallow cream is what makes it. The batter will last for several days. Some separation will happen but you can mix it up and it will be fine."

  1. I grew up with Tom and Jerry's every Christmas Eve. The water was boiling all day as friends dropped by for the traditional Tom and Jerry. Bill Saal Tom and Jerry batter stopped being sold in the stores and ever since we have been trying to recreate it. This is by far the best and most like the original. Thanks!
     
  2. Excellent recipe!! Reminds me of Christmases at home up north!
     
  3. Yummy! T&J batter is no longer available here, so I decided to make this, and will now never purchase batter again! Delicious, easy and economical, with none of the gritty texture you sometimes get with store-bought. This recipe is a keeper!
     
  4. This recipe turned out great! My family is from the midwest where this is extremely popular, so now that I'm not there anymore this was great to introduce to some of my Southern friends. They absolutely loved it! I made it exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for a fabulous recipe that reminded me of family holidays!
     
  5. I remember being introduced to Tom and Jerrys at a local tavern in my hometown when I was younger. The owner always had a steaming copper bowl full of them on the corner of the bar during the holidays. The only tweak I made to this recipe was to add 1/2 tsp each of nutmeg, cloves and allspice to the batter mix. With those changes, this recipe is an exact match for the tavern version of my youth. Absolutely amazing - thanks for sharing this!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Hello! <br /> <br />I'm a Montana native that has made my way back after a few moves. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 24 years and we have twin boys who are 18 years old and Freshman in College.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wasn't ready for this empty nest stuff and just want my boys back home!&nbsp; I'm doing my best to adjust.&nbsp; I have continued cooking and am learning how to scale recipes back for just the 2 of us. My husband and I are partners in our own company and own 13 Subway sandwich shops. I work from our home handling all the financial and clerical duties of the business. <br /> <br />Over the years and especially since finding Zaar, cooking has become my passion. My grandmothers were very good cooks and I have fond memories of the meals they prepared. We love entertaining and nothing pleases me more than having my family and others enjoy the food I make. I love it when the house smells good with dinner or whatever is baking. I came upon recipezaar searching for a rhubarb cake recipe one day. The recipe I chose was a 5 star and my addiction began. It took a few months before I started really utilizing the site but once I did my cooking has never been the same. My family now knows all about having to rate recipes, picking their favorite chefs, etc. It's become a family thing and they have told me that I may never let my membership to Recipezaar ever end. <br /> <br />We love to travel and try to go whenever we can. Owning our own business has helped free up time where we can travel more. We've done some Europe, Canada, and much of the U.S. In the coming years I hope to do a lot more. Eating out when we are traveling is the best. I'm trying to learn more about the restaurants and chefs in places we are visiting so we can try and visit those restaurants and enjoy some of the great places our town just doesn't have. <br /> <br />The whole family loves to ski and we look forward to the season every year - it makes winter tolerable. Renting movies or just hanging out with friends is the making of a relaxing weekend for us.</p>
