Ingredients
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1 3/4 cups boiling water
Cornstarch Slurry
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions
- Combine the sugar and butter in a medium sized saucepan. Melt on medium heat, then bring to a bubbling boil, letting the sugar darken somewhat. Do not boil until it's hard candy however.
- Once the butter and sugar have started bubbling, let boil for another 2-3 minutes, then slowly and carefully pour in the hot water. It most likely WILL SPIT so be careful!
- Stir together and bring to a boil again.
- To thicken, combine the cornstarch and cold water, then whisk into the boiling brown sugar mixture. Cook until it thickens up slightly then remove from the heat.
- Serve warm.
