- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon maple extract or vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place brown sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium/high heat.

Notes
Cooking Tip: It is essential not to overheat and burn the sugar. Even a small amount of overcooking the sugar will ruin the taste of the syrup.
Serving tip: It is best served a little warm. If it cools all the way, it will become very hard to pour out.
