List of Ingredients




2/3 cup sugar

1 large egg

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Freshly grated nutmeg to taste

1/3 cup best bourbon whiskey


Recipe



1. Combine the sugar and egg in a small bowl and beat with an electric mixture until well blended.

2. Stir the melted butter into the egg mixture. Cook in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, whisking constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has thickened a bit, about 5 minutes.

3. Remove the pan from the heat and add the lemon juice, nutmeg and bourbon.

4. Serve on rice pudding, bread puddings, pudding cakes or old-fashioned jam pudding. Serve puddings warm with the sauce.

Yields 1-1/2 cups
