A luscious and versatile caramel molasses sauce perfect for drizzling over desserts or breakfast items.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until fully liquefied.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the butter from burning.
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Stir constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly.
Pour in the molasses and stir to combine, letting the mixture simmer gently.
Simmering helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Adding vanilla off the heat preserves its aromatic qualities.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite dishes or store for later use.
This sauce pairs wonderfully with pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
