2 tbsp. butter
1 c. white sugar
2 egg yolks
1/2 c. cream or good milk
A little brandy
1/2 lb. nuts cut not too sm. (walnuts or almonds)
2 egg whites

Cream butter and sugar together. Add well beaten egg yolks and cream or milk. Put in a double boiler and cook until thick, stirring constantly (coat the spoon). Take off heat and add brandy and nuts. When cold beat in lightly well, beaten egg whites. This sauce can be made a day ahead, if it separates beat it up again.
