How to Make Rich Butterscotch Sauce
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup (60ml) water, 1/4 cup (60ml) butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Stir over medium-low heat until both sugars are completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. This takes about 3-5 minutes. Do not rush this step!
- Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue boiling, without stirring, until the sauce reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer, or until large bubbles break on the surface and a small amount dropped from a spoon forms a soft ball. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately.
- Carefully whisk in 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
