How to Make Fooled You Maple Spread

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole milk, and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and lump-free, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon pure maple extract and a pinch of salt.
  4. Pour the mixture into a heatproof bowl or jar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled and set. This allows the flavors to meld and the spread to thicken.
  5. Once chilled, allow the spread to come to room temperature for easier spreading, if desired.
