1677kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons of butter
- ½ cup of heavy whipping cream warmed to room temperature
- ½ teaspoon of fine or flakey sea salt
Method
- Have all ingredients measured and ready to go before you start melting the sugar.
- Add sugar to a heavy duty saucepan. Try not to use a non-stick pan.
- Heat sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar starts to melt.
- As sugar starts to form small chunks, stir frequently until chunks are melted. See video for a better idea of what this looks like.
- Be careful not to burn the sugar. Once the sugar reaches a dark amber color turn off the heat and take the pan off of the burner.
- Add all of the butter you have ready to go to the melted sugar. Stir the butter and melted sugar until combined.
- Slowly pour in the warmed heavy cream while whisking continuously. The mixture will bubble up significantly. Keep whisking until the sauce is smooth and uniform.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the sea salt until fully dissolved. Let the sauce cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a glass jar.
