How to Make Salted Caramel

Use the following written instructions, but here’s the basic process: melting sugar, which is called caramelization, is the first step. This includes 1 small pot and a heatproof spatula or a wooden spoon. Stir until they’re melted. Stir in the sugar, cook the mixture, stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 1 minute. Lastly, apply salt. That is it, the caramel is done.

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 10 minutes
• Yield: 1 cup

Ingredients

• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 6 Tablespoons (90g) salted butter, room temperature cut up into 6 pieces
• 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

• In a medium heavy duty saucepan, heat granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring continuously with a high heat resistant rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Sugar will form clumps and as you continue to mix, it will slowly melt into a thick brown, amber-colored liquid. Take care not to smoke.
• When the sugar is fully melted, stir in the butter until it is melted and mixed. In this step, be careful because when the butter is added, the caramel will bubble quickly. Remove from the heat and vigorously whisk to mix again if you find the butter separating or if the sugar clumps up.
• After the butter has melted and combined with the caramelized sugar, cook for 1 minute without stirring.
• Stir in the 1/2 cup of heavy cream very slowly. As the heavy cream is colder than the hot caramel, when applied, the mixture will bubble rapidly. Stop stirring after all the heavy cream has been added and allow it to boil for 1 minute. In the tub, it will rise as it cooks.
• Remove from heat and stir in the salt. Allow to slightly cool down before using. Caramel thickens as it cools.
• Cover tightly and store for up to 1 month in the refrigerator. Caramel solidifies in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove to desired consistency.
