Sabayon Sauce with Madeira

Put into a saucepan the yolks of four raw eggs, and one and one-half ounces of powdered sugar; place it on a hot stove and with a wire whisk beat for two minutes. Drop in gradually two gills or so of Madeira wine, stir constantly for two minutes, take from the fire and strain through from a fine sieve over the pudding with which it is to be served.
