Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. 1. In a small bow, with a hand mixer or whisk, cream butter and sugar. 2. Transfer to the top of a double boiler and place over, but not touching simmering water. Beat in egg yolks an salt. Slowly add hot cream and stir until thickened. Add Bourbon and stir until an even consistency is obtained. Keep warm. 3. Serve over any dessert pudding, ice cream, or poundcake.
