Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, I melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. The moment the butter starts to soften, I can smell that rich aroma as it begins to melt. I like to remove the saucepan from the heat once it’s completely melted and stir in both granulated and brown sugars until it’s beautifully smooth. The mixture transforms into a glossy delight, making me excited for what’s to come.
