Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (59ml) water
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt or flaky salt

Instructions
 

  • In a medium sized saucepan, combine the sugar and the water. Stir just until combined. 
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat. Let the sugar mixture cook, without stirring, until the sugar mixture turns a mid amber color. Take the mixture off the heat to stop the cooking process.
  • Add the butter to the saucepan and whisk to combine. Be very careful as the mixture is incredibly hot and will bubble up and steam when the butter is added. 
  • Whisk in the heavy cream, followed by the vanilla and the salt. Whisk until smooth.
  • Let the caramel cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a storage container to cool completely.
