1/2 pound butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs, beaten in a small bowl with the whiskey
1/4 cup whiskey

Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Add sugar and stir well.
Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then quickly whisk in the
beaten eggs and whiskey.
Put the sauce back on the stove over low heat and whisk constantly
until the sauce has thickened slightly. (If it's overcooked, the sauce will curdle.)
Keep the sauce warm until serving.

NOTE: This sauce contains egg yolks which can carry salmonella
bacteria if not fully cooked. As with other foods like beef
tartare, Caesar salad or eggs cooked "sunny side up", caution is
advised when eating raw or lightly cooked eggs.
