How to Make Mimi's Cafe Whiskey Sauce

Melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar and whisk until fully dissolved.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs. Once the butter mixture is lukewarm, quickly whisk in the beaten eggs and 2 tablespoons of your favorite whiskey (bourbon or Irish whiskey recommended).
Return the saucepan to low heat and whisk constantly for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Be careful not to let it boil.
Keep the sauce warm over very low heat or in a warm oven (around 200°F) until ready to serve.
Serve generously over warm bread pudding. For an extra touch of decadence, garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
