Butterscotch
(https://ohmydish.com)Butterscotch sauce is easy to make yourself, and only requires a few ingredients. A rich, creamy caramel sauce which will make your cakes and desserts even tastier.
Butterscotch is similar to caramel and is made with soft brown sugar and butter. Cream and vanilla are added to produce a luxurious smooth sauce.
The difference between caramel and butterscotch is mainly the type of sugar used. Caramel is made with white granulated sugar, while soft brown sugar is used for butterscotch.
As well as this delicious butterscotch sauce, there are also butterscotch sweets (candies). These hard sweets are usually individually wrapped.
The name butterscotch may suggest that it comes from Scotland, but it's actually English. The name comes from "scotched" or "scorched", which refers to the butter being heated.
