Method

  1. 1

    Make the sauce. Set the cream, butter and sugar in a small pan and let them melt together. Keep the mixture bubbling, stirring, until it turns a toffee colour and looks pourable. Taste in a little salt, then bring it to the table warm.

Storage

Keep covered and eat within a few days; freeze leftovers if the dish allows it.

EU nutrition claims

  • Low salt: 0.05 g salt per 100 g (limit ≤ 0.3 g)

Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 39 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide

Free sugars

Sugar (daily guide)

10 g per serving

20 % of the 50 g daily maximum · 40 % of the ideal 25 g

Free sugars under 50 g a day, ideally about 25 g, based on WHO free-sugar guidance (not endorsed by WHO). The share shown is the share of one serving. WHO
