If you've ever been to Don Pablo's and had their sopapillas with brandy butter sauce, you'll love this recipe. This is really good with bread pudding, pound cake and rum cake.

Steps:
- 1. Melt butter in sauce pan over low heat.
- 2. Add powder sugar, cinnamon, brandy and buttershots.
- 3. Increase heat to medium low.
- 4. Allow the mixture to gently boil for a minute or two.
- 5. Serve warm.
- 6. NOTE: This mixture will have a more caramel tone to it instead of the buttery color of that served in Don Pablo's. I'm guessing it's due to the cinnamon. I'm going to try it with a cinnamon liqueur and see if that makes a difference. Will post changes when I do. (recipe courtesy of copycat recipes at recipelink)
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the brandy butter sauce will taste. Use unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and a good quality brandy.
- Soften the butter before mixing. This will make it easier to cream together with the other ingredients.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the sauce, making it smooth and creamy.
- Add the brandy and vanilla extract gradually. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Chill the sauce before serving. This will help it to firm up and become more spreadable.
Conclusion:
Brandy butter sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of desserts, such as cakes, cookies, pies, and ice cream. It is also a great addition to savory dishes, such as roasted meats and vegetables. With its rich, buttery flavor and hint of brandy, brandy butter sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
