Ingredients:
  • 0.25 cup cornstarch
  • 0.75 cup water

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions:
  • In a double boiler set over simmering water, mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir consistently and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides to prevent burning until the sugar melts, about 3 to 5 minutes.
