Ingredients
- 170 g Granulated sugar
- 125 g Heavy cream warmed
- 1 Tbs Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- to taste Optional flavoring Like bourbon, vanilla, espresso, etc
Instructions
- Combine in a medium pot the sugar with about a quarter of water to create wet sand.
- Turn the heat on high and allow the sugar water to boil without stirring or swirling the pot.
- When the sugar starts to brown in areas, give the pot a swirl or mix with a whisk. As the sugar gets darker, check for color by dripping a little bit on a piece of parchment paper. It should be the color of amber. Turn the heat down to medium low.
- Wrap your whisking hand in a towel or pot holder and start whisking. Slowly pour in a small amount of cream while whisking constantly. When it stops bubbling, add in another small amount of cream. Repeat until it no longers aggressively bubbles.
- Slowly stream in the remaining cream while whisking and turn off the heat. Add in the butter, salt, and optional flavorings. Allow to cool completely in the pot before transferring to another container.
