Preheat the oven to 150° C. In a saucepan over low heat, cook the brown sugar until it forms an amber caramel without stirring to avoid crystallizing the sugar. When ready, add the butter and mix. Pour it hot into a 20 cm diameter flan mold and let it harden. Grease the edges of the mold with butter and sugar and set aside.
