Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 tbsp butter room temperature
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream room temperature

Instructions

  • Place an even layer of the sugar in the bottom of a sauce pan. Heat the sugar over medium-high heat, whisking only when it begins to melt. As the sugar begins to melt it will clump up before it completely melts.
  • Continue to cook the melted sugar until it turns a deep amber color. At this point carefully add the butter and whisk until the butter is melted.
  • Remove from heat and slowly add the cream, whisking until it is smooth and the cream is completely mixed in.
  • Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes
