Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it becomes fully liquefied and starts to shimmer.
- Incorporate brown sugar into the melted butter, whisking vigorously to create a smooth, unified mixture. Continue cooking and stirring for approximately two minutes until the sugar granules completely dissolve.
- Gradually stream the heavy cream into the butter-sugar base, maintaining constant whisking to prevent any potential separation or curdling. Allow the mixture to reach a gentle bubbling point and continue simmering for 3-5 minutes, enabling the syrup to develop a slightly more viscous consistency.
- Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat source and introduce vanilla extract and salt, stirring thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the syrup.
- Let the syrup rest and cool for several minutes, during which it will naturally thicken and develop a more luxurious texture.
- Generously cascade the warm Dutch honey over pancakes, waffles, French toast, or your preferred dessert, transforming an ordinary dish into a decadent culinary experience.
Notes
- Maintain medium heat and stir continuously to avoid burning the butter and sugar mixture, which can create a bitter taste.
- Add heavy cream slowly while whisking to create a smooth, silky texture and prevent the mixture from separating.
- Refrigerate leftover syrup in an airtight container for up to a week, gently reheating before serving to restore its original consistency.
- Substitute coconut cream for heavy cream to create a dairy-free version that’s equally rich and indulgent.
