Step 5 Step 2 : Melt the butter in the pot

Take your half stick of butter and cut it into four pieces of nearly equal size. Or, you can just throw the half-stick in as it is. I don't like adding steps that are actually not necessary. Add the butter to the pot of dissolved sugar in cream. Stir constantly until all of the butter has melted, completely mixed in and the whole thing comes to a boil. If it won't boil after 30 minutes of stirring on medium heat, increase the heat a bit until you bring it to a boil.
