  • About

The whisky is optional but traditional here. Adding golden syrup to the basic toffee sauce undoubtedly results in a more malty flavour.

Ingredients

  • 75 g soft brown sugar
  • 150 ml double cream
  • 50

Method

  1. Put the sugar, cream, butter and syrup in a heavy-based pan and cook gently over a low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Increase the heat and bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat again and simmer for 8–10 minutes until the colour changes from a milky coffee to a rich caramel.
