Traditional Eggnog Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 large egg yolks
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 tablespoon flour
    1 dash salt
    2 tablespoons whipping cream (unwhipped)
    1/4 cup butter
    2 tablespoons brandy
    1/2 cup whipping cream
Preparation
    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.
