Whiskey Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup whiskey
Instructions
Melt butter in the top of a double boiler set over hot, but not boiling, water (or in a Pyrex bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water). In a separate bowl, beat sugar and egg together; add to melted butter, whisking vigorously to prevent egg from curdling. Cook, whisking constantly, until sugar is dissolved and egg is cooked, 3-4 minutes. Remove sauce from heat and stir in whiskey. Makes about 1 cup.
