- Melt butter in a double boiler over simmering water. Add powdered sugar and salt and whisk until sugar is incorporated and sauce is smooth.
- Whisk in vanilla and bourbon. Immediately add the egg yolk and stir until well blended.
- Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until sauce heats through and thickens slightly.
- Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm bourbon-butter sauce, sprinkle with powdered sugarand serve.
