"I got the off of about.com. I had not looked on here first, and I am glad, because this does not use that much cream or butter, but is still super good."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup water (boiling)
• 1 dash salt
• 2 tablespoons cream
• 2 tablespoons butter (not margarine)
• vanilla (to taste)

directions

1. Mix sugar and flour together in a sauce pan, blend well. Add the boiling water and the salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 6-8 minutes, or until it thickens and starts to come away from the edges of the pan. If it is too thick, add a little more water. Remove from heat and add the butter, the cream, and the vanilla (I used about 1/2 tsp.). Stir until thoroughly combined.
