Butterscotch Steamer
Warm, sweet, creamy and rich with caramel flavor, this butterscotch steamer is the perfect thing to warm up any wintery day!
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1/4 tsp salt
- splash of water
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the sugar, salt, and a splash of water in a small saucepan, and set over medium/medium-high heat. Make sure the sugar is evenly moistened, the water helps it melt evenly.
- Once the mixture starts to bubble, continue to cook for about 4-5 minutes. Monitor the sugar closely so it doesn't burn, turning down the heat if necessary, but you do want it to get nice and dark brown.
- Remove from the heat, and add the butter to pan. Be careful as it will sputter. Stir it in throughly so that it's fully mixed together, the mixture should resemble a caramel sauce.
- Slowly add the milk. The caramel mixture will harden up at first, this is fine, it will re-melt together as the milk heats up.
- Set the pan over medium/low heat and slowly heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts steaming and all of the caramel has melted into the milk. Note: don't let the milk come to a boil.
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the vanilla extract. Serve immediately, topped with frothed milk, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
