Equipment
- Saucepan
- Whisk
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Small bowl
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grab a small bowl and whisk together 1/4 cup of maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard until nicely combined. This blend forms the heart of our Maple Mustard Cream Sauce, infusing it with its irresistible sweet and tangy flavors.
- Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat after whisking the Maple syrup and mustard. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the pan and let it melt away.
- Pour the mixture of maple syrup and mustard into the saucepan with the melted butter. Give it a good stir using a wooden spoon or spatula, ensuring all the ingredients are beautifully combined. Let the mixture cook over medium heat, allowing the flavors to mingle and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Once the sauce has simmered for a few minutes and started to come together, it’s time to introduce 1 cup of heavy cream into the mix. Stir the cream into the sauce until it melds into a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Allow the sauce to simmer gently for another 5-7 minutes, thickening up even more and developing its rich flavor.
- Season the Maple Mustard Cream Sauce with a pinch of salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences. Give it one final stir to ensure the sauce evenly distributes the seasoning.
