Preparation

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and 1 cup water. Simmer, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium high to bring the syrup to a gentle boil, and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the syrup thickens to the consistency of warm pancake syrup, 5 to 8 minutes. Cool slightly. Serve with waffles or pancakes. If making ahead, reheat before serving.
