📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, heat ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) of sugar and ¼ cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) of water over medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
2
Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 8–⏱️ 10 minutes. If needed, brush down the sides of the pan with water to prevent crystallization.
3
Add the remaining 2 ¼ cups (1 lb 2 oz/507 g) of sugar to the caramel.
