Method
Making Caramel
- 1
Prepare Your Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients: granulated sugar, unsalted butter, heavy cream, and sea salt. Measure them out before you begin to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- 2
Melt the Sugar
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously with a heat-resistant spatula until the sugar melts and turns into a golden-brown liquid. Be careful not to burn it.
- 3
Add Butter
Once the sugar is melted, carefully add the unsalted butter to the pan. The mixture will bubble up; continue stirring until the butter is fully melted and combined.
- 4
Incorporate Cream
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. The mixture will bubble again, so be cautious. Stir until the caramel is smooth and well combined.
- 5
Add Sea Salt
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Taste the caramel and add more salt if desired.
- 6
Cool the Caramel
Let the caramel cool in the saucepan for a few minutes before transferring it to a heatproof container. It will thicken as it cools.
