Bourbon Sauce

Ingredients

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
4 egg yolks

Instructions

Melt the butter in a double boiler over simmering water. Add the sugar and whisk to dissolve. Add the bourbon and whisk for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and drizzle in the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return the double boiler to the heat and continue whisking until the sauce is pale and slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.

Spoon the sauce over the pudding and serve immediately.
