Butterscotch Sauce

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter

• 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark, packed)

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1. Melt the butter:
   In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

2. Add the sugar:
   Stir in the brown sugar until it’s fully dissolved and starts to bubble, about 2 minutes.

3. Add the cream and salt:
   Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. Add the salt and mix well.

4. Simmer and thicken:
   Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

5. Add vanilla:
   Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

6. Cool slightly:
   Let the sauce cool for a few minutes before using. It will thicken further as it cools.
