Ingredients
Scale
1 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Prepare your area: Before you start, gather all your ingredients and have a heatproof spatula or spoon ready. Caramel can be tricky, so being organized will make it easier.
Ma-Peak Temperature Matters: In a medium-sized, heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat, pour in the sugar. Stir it gently with your spatula, watching it slowly melt into a syrup.
Watch the Color: As the sugar melts, keep stirring occasionally. You want it to reach a lovely amber hue, just before it starts to smoke.
Add the Butter: Once your sugar has reached that perfect golden color, carefully add in the cubed butter. The mixture will bubble vigorously, so stand back and stir continuously until the butter is completely melted.
Introduce the Cream: Now, pour in the heavy cream slowly while stirring continuously. Keep stirring for another minute or two until it’s all combined.
Add Flavor: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt if using. Let the sauce cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a jar or serving bowl.
Enjoy! Your homemade caramel sauce can be drizzled over just about anything.
