Scotch Butterscotch Sauce Recipes

EASY HOMEMADE BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan (not non-stick) over medium heat.
• Add the brown sugar, salt and heavy cream and stir the mixture with a rubber spatula until it's well blended. Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping down the sides occasionally, and boil it for 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the butterscotch sauce to a container to cool. (See Kelly's Notes.)

QUICK AND EASY BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small heavy bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add in the brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt, stirring until the mixture is combined and the sugar has melted.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. For a thinner sauce, cook for 4 to 5 minutes to a temperature of 227 °F on a digital thermometer. For a thicker sauce, cook for 6 to 7 minutes to 238 °F. Any longer than that and the sauce will be too thick.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and bourbon, if using.
• Transfer the sauce to a jar and allow to cool to room temperature. It will thicken further upon standing.
• Seal the jar and store the Butterscotch Sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• If the sauce separates after it's been cooled, warm it gently in the microwave (20 second increments at 40% powder) and stir until it's smooth again.

BUTTER "SCOTCH" SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed pot, place over low heat, adding the sugar. Continue to stir, letting the sugar melt, then stop stirring and let the sugar syrup turn a deep golden-brown color. This will take about 10 - 15 minutes.
• Mix together the water, Scotch, and a pinch of salt, then tilt the pot slightly and pour the liquid down the side of the pan. Be careful of the steam and some bubbling, as this could cause a very bad burn. The sugar will clump up, but bring the mixture back to a simmer and the caramel will dissolve back into the sauce. Once dissolved, remove from the heat and stir in the butter.
• Once melted, just add the vanilla, and the sauce is ready to serve. This sauce can be refrigerated for up to two weeks if it doesn't disappear before that.
