CLASSIC CUSTARD SAUCE
This is a lovely rich creamy classic custard that is wonderful layered in trifles (see my recipe #353522), or in goblets with White Wine Jelly (recipe #286907), or served with cake and fruit. Superb! I sometimes add the seeds from a vanilla bean for extra richness. Really wonderful. I hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- In the bottom of a double boiler, bring one inch of water (water must not touch top pan) to simmer over medium heat.
- In the top of a double boiler, beat together egg yolks, sugar, and salt until thick and light-colored. Gradually add half-and-half.
- Heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is somewhat thickened and coats a spoon. (Mixture must not come to a boil or it will curdle.).
- Remove from heat; add sherry or brandy or vanilla. Chill.
