Before you get doubtful, the 'burnt butter' here is not really 'burnt'-butter. The butter here is heated on a low flame till it gets a brown tint and gives out a nutty rich aroma. If you are familiar with making 'desi-ghee' at home, you would find the process [and result] to be quite similar. The nutty burnt butter is then mixed with a rich brown sugar caramel and some cream to finish up. A hint of salt gives that 'kick' and balances it out beautifully. An absolutely delicious sauce that can be used in many different ways--it can be used as a filling in cookies and bars.-you can pour it over a scoop of ice cream and make it dripping delicious.-simple tea cakes can turn into something exotic when topped with this yummy sauce.-you can use it in tarts.-it tastes good as it is too. [in case you are on a diet, do take care-this one can be very addictive!].
