5 tbsp butter, room temperatures
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Step 1
In a medium size saucepan, add the sugar over medium low. Gently mix the sugar every 30 seconds until melted (about 5 to 6 minutes). The sugar will form clumps before fully melting and turning into a deep amber colour.
Step 2
Once the sugar has completely melted, take off the heat immediately, so it doesn’t burn, then mix in the room temperature butter. The mixture will start to bubble, so be careful. Once the mixture is mostly incorporated, put it back over medium low heat and mix.
Step 3
Next, pour the heavy cream and add the salt. Stir until everything is incorporated. Let the caramel sauce cool before using. Enjoy!
