INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
- ¾ cup (6oz) boiling water
- ½ teaspoon (3g) salt, optional
DIRECTIONS
- Heat a small pot over low heat.
- Add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar melts.
- When the sugar becomes frothy and turns from light brown to dark brown, carefully add boiling water a little at a time while stirring. Do not let the sugar turn too black, as you will end up with bitter-tasting browning sauce. Note: Be very careful when adding the hot water as the sugar may sputter and rise up.
- Keep stirring for about 5 minutes until your sauce is ready.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Use immediately or bottle and store in the fridge.
NOTES
- Keep the heat on low while cooking our browning sauce to avoid burning the sugar quickly.
- Please leave the window open and keep the fan on to reduce the accumulation of smoke throughout the house.
- Add the hot water carefully as the sugar mix may rise and splatter. You may do this in the kitchen sink to avoid messy spills and accidents.
- If it begins to smoke as it melts before it gets dark enough, lower the heat or remove it from the heat for a bit.
- If possible, use a nonstick saucepan for easy clean-up.
- Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
