Homemade Sea Salt Caramel
Original recipe from www.sallysbakingaddiction.com. I doubled the ingredients to have extra on hand!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Cups Granulated White Sugar
- 12 Tablespoons Salted Butter, cut into Tablespoon-sized pieces.
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream
- 2 Teaspoons Sea Salt
Instructions
- Slowly dissolve sugar in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir constantly with either heat resistant spatula, wooden spoon, or whisk.
- Sugar will transform into clumps, then melt down. An amber colored, thick liquid is the stage where you want to proceed.
- Add pats of butter to melted sugar, careful to watch-the butter will cause the sugar to bubble rapidly. Continue to stir/whisk until butter and sugar are incorporated.
- Very slowly incorporate the heavy cream, stirring the whole time. Again, watch for bubbling when this stage happens.
- Allow the mixture to boil for one minute.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the salt.
- Allow to cool before putting in a jar or using.
