Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a handheld or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 2
Crack in the egg and beat until well combined and smooth.
Step 3
Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring the flavor is fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
Step 5
Slowly pour the boiling water into the butter mixture while continuously whisking to prevent curdling. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes foamy and doubles in volume.
Step 6
Transfer the foamy sauce to a small saucepan and place it over low heat. Cook gently while stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken (do not let it boil).
Step 7
Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Drizzle generously over warm steamed pudding or any dessert of your choice.
