Preparation
- 1
Prepare Your Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients and measure them out. It's important to have everything ready before you start cooking, as caramel can burn quickly.
Cooking the Caramel
- 2
Melt the Sugar
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula until the sugar melts and turns a golden brown color, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the Butter
Once the sugar is melted, carefully add the unsalted butter. The mixture will bubble vigorously. Stir until the butter is fully melted and combined with the sugar.
- 4
Incorporate the Cream
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble up again. Stir until the caramel is smooth and well combined.
- 5
Add Sea Salt
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sea salt. If using, add the vanilla extract at this stage and mix well.
