Tips:

  • Use good quality butter: The quality of the butter you use will directly affect the taste of the sauce. Look for a European-style butter with at least 82% butterfat.
  • Don't let the butter burn: Keep a close eye on the butter as it melts. It should foam up and turn a light golden brown color. If it starts to brown too much, remove it from the heat immediately.
  • Add the brown sugar gradually: Whisking the brown sugar into the melted butter a little at a time will help prevent it from clumping.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil: Once the brown sugar has been added, bring the sauce to a boil. This will help to thicken it and develop its flavor.
  • Let the sauce cool slightly before using: The sauce will thicken as it cools. Let it cool for a few minutes before using it as a topping or drizzle.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. With these tips, you can make the perfect butterscotch sauce every time.
