Homemade Carmel
Ingredients
500g caster sugar
300ml double cream
1tsp sea salt
100g butter
120ml water
Method
Start by placing the sugar into a heavy-based deep pan, stir in your water, then place over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Next, turn up the heat and bubble until you have a rich amber colour. Do not stir your caramel at this point - take it a little further than you wish as when you add the cream it will brighten up.
Finally, take your caramel sauce off the heat and stir in your cream, salt, and butter. Be careful and use a long wooden spoon as it will bubble and spit and is VERY HOT.
