Method |
| Sugar | 1 Cup | 225 g | Combine sugar and corn syrup in a small pot with a spatula. On low to medium heat, let the sugar and corn syrup melt together and caramelize to an amber/honey color. Do not over stir. Once it is a caramel, switch off the heat. |
| Light Corn Syrup (or Glucose) | ¼ Cup | 100 g | |
| Heavy Cream | 1 Cup | 175 g | With a whisk, add heavy cream slowly to the caramel while constantly whisking. Wear an oven mitt! The caramel will bubble, so you need to constantly whisk. Once the heavy cream is incorporated, add salt and butter, whisk until caramel is smooth. Pour caramel into a separate bowl and let cool.
Note: Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature. |
| Salt | ½ Teaspoon | 3 g | |
| Butter | 1 stick | 110 g |
