Bourbon Butter Sauce

By MJH

This sauce is sinful - so rich and wonderful! Absolutely great on cakes and ice cream.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly-grated nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 egg, beaten

Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine butter, sugar, bourbon, nutmeg, and water; stirring occasionally until bubbly around the edges. Remove from heat.

Off the heat, blend beaten egg into hot butter mixture.

Return to heat; bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.

Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and serve.
