Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it is completely liquid.

  2. 2

    Add Sugars

    Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the sugars are fully dissolved and the mixture is bubbling.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Heavy Cream

    Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring vigorously. This will help to combine the ingredients and create a smooth texture.

  4. 4

    Add Vanilla and Salt

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well until everything is combined.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Cool the Butterscotch

    Allow the butterscotch sauce to cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

  2. 6

    Serve with Toppings (Optional)

    If desired, drizzle the butterscotch over desserts like ice cream or cake and top with chopped nuts and whipped cream.
