BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE



Butterscotch Sauce image

Butterscotch sauce takes its character from brown sugar. The sauce contains cream and, yes, butter, and both strike round, rich, pleasingly burnished notes. Butterscotch will embrace a foundation ice cream flavor -- classics like chocolate, vanilla and coffee -- with abandon.

Tips for Making Easy Butterscotch Sauce:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Use real butter, heavy cream, and brown sugar for the best results.
  • Cook the sauce over medium heat: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning or scorching. Stir the sauce constantly to ensure that it heats evenly.
  • Do not overcook the sauce: The sauce is done when it has thickened and turned a golden brown color. Overcooking the sauce will make it thick and sticky.
  • Add a pinch of salt: This will help to balance the sweetness of the sauce.
  • Use a variety of flavors: Feel free to add other flavors to the sauce, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg. You can also add chopped nuts or dried fruit for a crunchy texture.
