Bourbon sauce

Pour this over bread pudding, ice cream, or whatever. This sauce could make even a block of tofu taste good.

  • 6 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (Maker's Mark preferred)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp white corn syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. The sauce is going to foam up, so don't use too-small a pan.

Add all the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Serve warm.

Servings: depends on your sweet tooth
