BRANDY SAUCE



Brandy Sauce image

Brandy sauce is similar to the other popular steamed pudding accompaniment, hard sauce. They're both stiff sauces that are served chilled with the warm puddings.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, cut in pieces
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Cognac

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. In a medium bowl, lightly beat egg yolks.
  • In a small, heavy saucepan, bring cream to a boil over medium-high heat. Add butter and sugar, and stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Whisk 1/4 of hot cream mixture into egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Transfer egg-yolk mixture back to saucepan, and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking frequently, until mixture is very thick, about 5 minutes. (Mixture will have the consistency of a thick pudding.) Remove from heat, and stir in cognac. Transfer sauce to a clean bowl, and place in ice bath to chill. Brandy sauce will keep in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for 1 week.

HARD SAUCE



Hard Sauce image

I remember making this sauce for my mom when I was about 8 years old. I loved the aroma and spicy flavor. Today, many cooks spread cream-cheese frosting on spice cake instead, but I think you're really missing something if you bypass this warm, old-time sauce. -Shirley Joan Helfenbein, Lapeer, Michigan
