Sauce

  1.  During the last few minutes of baking, gather your sauce ingredients. Start by melting the butter, then add sugar until dissolved. Add beaten egg and whisk together quickly over medium heat. Remove from heat and add vanilla and rum extract, rum, or bourbon.

  2. Pour sauce over the warm dish as it comes out of the oven. This dish tastes best served warm. To serve plate on individual dessert dishes with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, then drizzle with a bit of caramel sauce and this simple homestead recipe becomes a show stopper!
