Equipment
- Digital kitchen scale
- Saucepan
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 200 g brown sugar
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 300 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream.
- Cook over medium-high heat until it starts boiling.
- Reduce the heat to maintain an active simmer, and let it cook for about 5 minutes. The mixture should become darker, and the bubbles on the surface should be larger and not burst as quickly as they did initially. The ideal temperature for fully cooked butterscotch sauce is 115°C (240°F).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Allow the mixture to cool down to room temperature before serving.
