Butterscotch Sauce
- 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Lyles Golden Syrup (treacle)
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, diced
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- In a medium saucepan, combine both of the sugars with the syrup and salt.
- Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is molten and beginning to bubble at the edges, about 6 minutes.
- Simmer, stirring, for 1 minute more, then stir in the butter.
- Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and cook the sauce until it reaches 240, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully stir in the cream until incorporated and bring to a rolling boil.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla, lemon juice and 1 1/2 tablespoons of water.
- Let the sauce cool completely, then transfer to a container and refrigerate.
- Rewarm in a microwave before serving, or serve at room temperature.
