Equipment

Heavy bottom sauce pan
Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 5 tbsp butter cut in pieces
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy bottom sauce pan on medium heat, combine the sugar and water
  • Cook whisking frequently until sugar is dissolved and the mixture turns clear and bubbly, about 3-4 minutes
  • At this point stop whisking. Just gently swirl the sauce pan on the burner until the liquid turns amber, about 15 minutes. Do not walk away from the pot.
  • Once it has reached an amber color, remove from heat and carefully add the butter. The liquid may splatter.
  • Slowly add the cream, vanilla, and salt.
  • Place back on the warm burner for 2-3 minutes.
  • While the caramel is warm, strain into a glass bowl. This will remove any crystalized bits of sugar.
  • When the caramel is cool, store in a glass jar.
  • This recipe make about 1¼ cups caramel.
    Use 1-2 table spoons of caramel sauce in your favorite coffee.
    Store in the fridge.
