Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) salted butter
  • ¼ cup (59.5 g) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Combine brown sugar, salted butter, heavy cream, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan.
  2. Melt over medium-low heat, stirring gently until butter is completely melted and sugar has dissolved (about 8-9 minutes).
  3. Cook the mixture for 3-4 more minutes, stirring frequently, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  4. Remove from heat.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract and kosher salt until well combined.
  6. Let the butterscotch sauce cool for a few minutes; it will continue to thicken as it cools.
