This may be the most delicious caramel sauce you ever taste!


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  30-60 minutes

ingredients

1 cup vanilla sugar (sugar that has been sitting with a vanilla bean for awhile) or regular sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
3/4 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in cubes
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt

directions

Place sugar, corn syrup and water in a medium heavy pan over medium heat. Stir to combine once the sugar starts to melt, then do not stir again.

Watch vigilantly for the next 6-10 minutes while the sugar changes color. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to wash down any sugar crystals that form on the side of the pan. The sugar will turn dark brown rather suddenly.

Remove from heat immediately and whisk in the heavy cream. Whisk in butter. Stir in sea salt. If clumps have formed, consider pouring it through a fine mesh strainer before transferring to a jar or container.

Let cool in the refrigerator before using.

    You don't need to add corn syrup! It works fine without it. As stated, do not stir once the sugar starts to cook unless, of course, you want candy instead.
