This cool rich creamy sauce is the perfect accompaniment for my warm Christmas Carrot Pudding. This is a very old English sauce. It will last refrigerated for a couple of days. It is also very, very good on warm mince tarts.
Beat eggs & sugar till thick & lemon coloured in the top of a double boiler. (I use a small stainless bowl sitting on top of a small saucepan).
Stir in flour, salt & 2 Tbsp of unwhipped cream.
Cook over simmering water, add butter stirring constantly about 10 minutes or until butter melts & sauce thickens.
Remove from heat, add brandy, cover & chill.
Up to this point it can be made ahead & left in the fridge for a couple of days.
Whip remaining 1/2 cup of whipping cream.
Fold into chilled egg mixture.
