Butterscotch Sauce
MATT TAYLOR-GROSS

Pastry chef Tracy Obolsky of Manhattan's North End Grill gave us her recipe for super-simple homemade butterscotch; its deep, buttery flavor is a perfect foil for a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Watch the video to see how it's made »

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp. Scotch whisky
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

Instructions
