6-Minute Small Batch Salted Caramel Sauce from baker by nature

  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt, flaky
  • 2 tbsp Butter, unsalted
  • 1/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 Dash Vanilla or bourbon
  • 1 tbsp Water
  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat whisk together sugar and water and bring to a boil. Cook until sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute.

    Reduce heat to a simmer. Add in butter and whisk until combined. Simmer until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 5 minutes. 

    Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the cream (it will bubble up ferociously after you add it!). Whisk until well combined. Whisk in salt. 

    Pour caramel into a heatproof jar. Allow it to cool a few minutes before using.
