📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Let it sit undisturbed at first, then gently swirl the pan occasionally as the sugar begins to melt.
2
Once melting starts, use a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula to carefully move the sugar around—avoid stirring too vigorously, as this can cause the sugar to clump.
3
When most of the sugar has melted, give it a gentle but thorough stir to help dissolve any remaining lumps.
4
Turn off the heat and carefully whisk in the butter until fully melted. Then slowly add the cream and salt, whisking continuously. Be cautious—the caramel will bubble up rapidly during this step. Continue whisking until the mixture is completely smooth.
5
For a deeper, more intense flavor, you can return the pan to the heat for 1–⏱️ 3 minutes, or until the caramel darkens by 1–2 shades.
6
Let the caramel cool slightly, then pour it into a jar or heatproof container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
