Ingredients: 

150 g sugar or ~3/4 cup

75 ml water or ~1/3 cup

160 ml double cream or ~2/3 cup

50 g unsalted butter or ~1/4 cup

Flaky salt for topping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Place the water and sugar into a saucepan. Use a saucepan, not a skillet if possible because less surface area is better for this recipe.

2. Put the saucepan over a low heat to allow the sugar to dissolve. 

3. Weight out the cream and butter keeping a close eye on the water and sugar. 

4. Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up and bring the mixture to a boil. Do not stir the mixture. 

5. The goal is to reach a deep honeycomb color. Allow the mixture to boil and swirl the pan often until you’re happy with the color. It could take up to 20 minutes for this to happen. 

6. Once you have reached a deep golden color, remove the pan from the heat and add the cream. Allow the bubbling to settle and then stir until the cream is combined. Add in your butter and again stir until combined. 

7. At this point, you can add in salt or any flavor extracts you would like and enjoy!
