How to make caramel?

Answer 1

To make caramel, you will need:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
2. Cook the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
3. Stop stirring and let the mixture cook until it turns a deep amber color, about 5-10 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble up, so be careful.
5. Add the butter to the pan and whisk until it is melted and fully combined.
6. If desired, add the vanilla extract and pinch of salt and whisk until fully combined.
7. Let the caramel cool for a few minutes before using it.

Answer 2

To make caramel, you can follow these simple steps:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Heat the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula or whisk.
2. The sugar will form clumps and eventually melt into a thick, amber-colored liquid as you continue to stir.
3. Once the sugar is completely melted, add the butter. Be careful as the caramel will bubble rapidly when you add the butter.
4. Stir the butter into the caramel until it is completely melted, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while stirring. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
7. Let the caramel sauce cool for a few minutes before using it on your favorite desserts.
