Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.333 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Pecans, chopped
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter.
Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar and whisk until fully dissolved and combined.
Slowly pour in the maple syrup while stirring to incorporate it with the butter and sugar mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and carefully stir in the heavy cream. Continue whisking until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract, chopped pecans, and salt, and stir to evenly distribute the pecans throughout the sauce.
Let the sauce simmer gently for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. The sauce will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving over pancakes.
