Butterscotch Steamer Recipe -

This butterscotch steamer recipe is a rich, deep, warming drink for cold weather! From my new cookbook! Checkout my other cookbooks here.

Prep: 3 min Cook: 10 min Serves: 2

Ingredients

1/3 cup brown sugar, lightly packed

1/4 tsp salt

Splash of water

2 Tbs unsalted butter

2 cups whole milk

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

In a saucepan, add the sugar, salt, and a splash of water and bring to medium to medium-high heat. Make sure that the sugar is moistened evenly. The water helps it dissolve evenly.
When the mixture starts to bubble, continue to cook for 4 to 5 more minutes. Watch closely so that the sugar does not burn, turning down the heat if necessary. The mixture should be nice and dark brown.
Remove from heat. Add the butter, being careful as it will sputter. Stir thoroughly to fully mix. It should resemble a caramel sauce.
Slowly add the milk. The caramel mixture will begin to harden, but will re-melt as the milk heats up.
Put the saucepan back over medium/low heat and heat slowly. Stir constantly until the mixture is steaming and all of the caramel has melted into the milk. Do not let the milk come to a boil.
Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and serve immediately, topped with frothed milk, whipped cream, or a dash of cinnamon, if desired.
