Directions
1
Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to a pot.
2
Place the pot on the stove over medium-low heat. It's important not to cook the sugar too fast.
3
Cook the sugar for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds or so. Initially, it will look like nothing is happening.
4
The sugar will start to clump together.
5
Eventually, the sugar will start taking on color.
6
The sugar will melt and turn a golden brown color.
7
As soon as the last bit of sugar turns into liquid, take it off the heat.
8
Immediately stir in 6 tablespoons of butter.
9
If the mixture has trouble coming together, put it back on the stove for about 30 seconds. It doesn't need to fully mix.
10
Add in half a cup of heavy cream.
11
Stir the heavy cream into the caramel mixture.
12
Finish with a little sea salt for added depth.
13
Stir in the sea salt until combined.
