Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ teaspoon maple extract or vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Place brown sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium/high heat.
  • Lower heat to medium/low and allow to boil for 4 minutes while whisking.
  • Next add in butter and stir until butter is melted. Remove from heat and mix in maple extract.
  • Allow syrup to set for 5 minutes to thicken slightly before serving.
  • Serve immediately or store in an airtight jar or container.

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.
