Ingredients

  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup butter I used salted
  • ⅓ cup fresh cream
  • ½ teaspoon butterscotch essence

Instructions

  • Get ready with all your ingredients. In a sauce pan - add brown sugar and butter.
  • Heat it up in low flame. Let it melt.
  • It will become gooey then it will start bubbling up. Let it bubble, bring to a boil. Boil for a minute. Switch off.
  • Now add fresh cream and whisk it well until smooth and silky.
  • Add butterscotch essence. If you are adding food color add now. I didnt add. Cool down completely then store Butterscotch Sauce in room temperature.

Notes

  • Cooking sugar – I always cook sugar and butter in low flame only. High flame will burn the sugar fast and this recipe will spoil easily.
  • Adding the cream – I usually whisk the cream well before adding it to the pan. Add cream only after switching off the flame so it does not split or curdle.
  • Butter choice – I have used salted butter so I didn’t add salt separately. If you are using unsalted butter, add tiny pinch of salt only, do not add more.
  • Checking consistency – The sauce has to look little thin when hot. It will thicken more once it cools, so do not overcook thinking it is watery.
  • Stirring method – I keep stirring while sugar melts so it does not stick to the bottom of pan. Do not leave it unattended even for few minutes.
