crewsk, I think this is it. It's from "Who's Your Mama, Are You Catholic, and Can You Make a Roux?" I thought it was a Martha recipe, but I was wrong. Thought I better get this to you while I was thinking about it. Gotta do more baking tomorrow.
Whiskey Sauce
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup sugar
4 egg yolks, beaten
1/4 cup bourbon, rum, or brandy
In a double boiler, melt butter over low heat, then add sugar gradually, beating with a fork or wire whisk. Do not allow mixture to become too hot. Add beaten eggs, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and add your choice of liquor. Spoon over bread pudding and serve immediately.
