Do it Youself Salted Caramel
The easiest and best recipe of salted caramel sauce
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 cup cream fresh cream or heavy cream
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- extra sea salt if required
Instructions
- Take a heavy bottomed sauce pan or frying pan with a lighter colour base. The diameter of the base of the pan should be such that you can spread a thin layer of sugar evenly in the pan.
- Pour the water and turn on the heat. Stir it once to spread the water and sugar. Then keep the gas on medium flame and cover the pan.
- Let the sugar melt. Uncover and check if the suagr has melted and then swirl the pan once. Cover it again and let it cook.
- The sugar will start to bubble and let all the water droplets fall back into the pan. Once the sugar has started to bubble too much and thicken, remove the cover and gently swirl the pan again.
- You can now see the sugar slowly changing colour. Let it change colour to a deep amber, where you can get a slight bitter smell. At that point turn off the gas. Add cream to it but carefully. It starts to bubble and rise. Instantly stir with a rubber spatula or a whisk and incororate the cream with the sugar.
- Then add 2 tbsps of butter and whisk it in. Let the butter melt in the caramel sauce. If you are using salted butter, you don't need to add salt. However, that's on your taste and can add some sea salt if you like. Then pour in a jar and keep it outside to cool down.
- Once cooled, store in the refrigerator and follow instructions of serving as mentiioned in the post above.
