HOMEMADE SALTED CARAMEL...







HOMEMADE SALTED CARAMEL RECIPE
adapted from :    sallysbakingaddiction.com




Ingredients :

1  cup  granulated sugar  (200 gm)
6  tbsp  salted butter, room temperature cut up into 6 pieces  (90 gm)
1/2  cup  heavy cream/UHT Dairy Whipping Cream  (120 ml)
1  tsp  salt


Directions :

1.  Heat granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a high heat resistant rubber spatula or wooden spoon.

2.  Sugar will form clumps and eventually melt into a thick brown, amber- coloured liquid as you continue to stir.  Be careful not to burn.

3.  Once sugar is completely melted, immediately add the butter.  Be careful in this step because the caramel will bubble rapidly when the butter is added.

4.  Stir the butter into the caramel until it is completely melted, about 2-3 minutes.  A whisk helps if you find the butter is separating from the sugar.

5.  Very slowly, drizzle in 1/2 cup of heavy cream while stirring.  Since the heavy cream is colder than the caramel, the mixture will rapidly bubble and/or splatter when added.

6.  Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute.  It will rise in the pan as it boils.

7.  Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of salt.  Allow to cool down before using.

8.  Make ahead tip :  You can make this caramel in advance.  Make sure it is covered tightly and store it for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.  Warm the caramel up for a few seconds before using in a recipe.  This caramel is 'OK' at room temperature for a day if you're travelling or gifting it...
