Beat 12 eggs separately, add to the yolks 1 heaping tablespoonful of sugar to every egg, beating all the time. When very light stir rapidly in 1 pint of brandy and 1 pint of whiskey, if more liquor is desired it can be added _before_ the cream. Now stir in half of the well beaten whites, then 3 pints of rich cream or 1 pint of milk and 2 of cream, then stir in lightly the remaining whites. A little nutmeg grated is an improvement. Be careful never to add liquor after cream.
