Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2-1 teaspoon fleur de sel*
Instructions
- In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring to a very low boil, swirling the saucepan gently, but not stirring. Simmer until the mixture is syrupy and a deep caramel color, about 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the butter and cream, being mindful that the mixture will spit and sizzle, so be careful. Whisky vigorously until it reaches a smooth, sticky consistency. Finally, whisk in the vanilla and fleur de sel. Set aside to cool.
