Bourbon Sauce
From the Kitchen of: Paz
| 1 1/2 | cups | milk |
| 1/3 | cup | sugar |
| 4 | | egg yolks |
| 2 | tablespoons | bourbon |
| 1 | teaspoon | vanilla extract |
In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Bring to a boil over moderate heat.
Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl until liquified.
When the milk boils, gradually whisk 1/3 of it into the yolks. Return the remaining milk to a boil over low heat and whisk in the yolk mixture.
Cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes; do not let boil. Immediately remove from the heat.
Whisk the sauce constantly for 1 minute to cool. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl and whisk for 30 seconds.
Stir in the bourbon and the vanilla.
Serve warm.
