Salted Butter Caramel

Instructions

1

Prepare caramel base

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water. Stir to dissolve.

Pro tip: Use a clean, heavy-bottom saucepan to prevent burning.

2

Cook sugar mixture

Heat over medium heat without stirring until it turns amber, about 10-12 minutes.

Pro tip: Swirl the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking.

3

Add cream carefully

Remove from heat and slowly whisk in the heavy cream. Be cautious of steam.

Pro tip: Ensure cream is at room temperature to prevent splattering.

4

Incorporate butter

Add the cubed butter and stir until melted and smooth.

Pro tip: Add butter in batches for easier melting.

5

Flavour with vanilla and salt

Stir in vanilla extract and sea salt until well combined.

Pro tip: Adjust salt to taste if desired.

6

Cool and store

Allow caramel to cool slightly before transferring to a jar. Store in the refrigerator.

Pro tip: Use a glass jar to prevent flavour absorption.
