4oz/110g Brown sugar
150ml/5 fl oz pouring cream Melt the butter in a large saucepan and then add in the brown sugar. Allow this mixture to come to the boil. Be very careful at this stage as the butter and sugar mixture is very hot and could burn should it contact your skin.
Pour in the pouring cream and whisk continuously.
Allow the mixture to come to a boil and then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes and then serve with the white chocolate bread and butter pudding Crème Anglaise / Egg Custard
