homemade butterscotch sauce topping

By Tabatha

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract or scotch whiskey

Preparation

Step 1

let's do it
Place a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the brown sugar, heavy cream and salt. Whisk until it’s well blended.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the sauce to bubble slowly for 5 minutes. Stir the mixture occasionally to avoid scorching.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract (or scotch), incorporating completely.
Transfer the mixture to a glass container with an airtight seal and serve the sauce warm or cold. Enjoy!
