Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt

Method
 

  1. Place sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until melted and deep amber, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  2. Add butter, whisk until smooth, about 1 minute.
  3. Slowly pour in heavy cream while whisking; cook until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat, stir in sea salt, and serve warm.

Notes

The sauce will thicken as it cools; reheat to return it to a pourable state. For a deeper caramel flavor, let the sugar cook until it just begins to smoke before adding the butter.
