Butterscotch Sauce

You can use it on cakes, ice creams, pudding etc
Ingredients

Sugar: 1 Cup
Butter: 1/2 Cup
Fresh Cream: 1 Cup
Vanilla Essence: 1 Tea Spoon
Salt: 1 Pinch

Cooking Time: 10 to 12 Minutes
Method

Pour fresh cream and butter to a bowl and mix it and keep aside
Put sugar to a pan and let it caramelize. It should only be light golden brown in color.  Do not let the sugar caramelize more and become dark brown in color. Because if the sugar caremlizes more it will taste more like caramel sauce
Add the cream butter mix and stir continuously
Stir well and keep on flame until the desired consistency is achieved.  (|I  made a thin sauce)
Remove from flame and add vanilla essence and salt and mix well
Let it cool well and store in clean and dry glass jar in fridge
If the sauce thickens upon cooling you can just warm it up before use
