Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 egg yolks
Date: Fri, 18 Oct 1996 12:45:37

Directions

¼ c sugar

1¼ c half-and-half

2 TB dry sherry -- (or to taste) : dr lemon juice

In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale yellow.

In a small saucepan, heat the half-and-half to steaming but do not boil. Slowly pour the hot cream into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the yolks from scrambling. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and strain immediately into a metal bowl. Add the sherry. Place the bowl into a larger bowl filled with ice water, or refrigerate. Stir occasionally to speed the cooling. Store, covered, in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
