Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt together the butter, brown sugar, and kosher salt. Once the butter has melted, whisk frequently as the mixture comes to a boil (if it separates, keep whisking and it will come together), then continue to whisk constantly for about 2 minutes, until the mixture is glossy and slightly thickened.
