Ingredients

  • 250g soft light brown sugar
  • 110g butter
  • 150ml double cream
  • 2 teaspoon sea salt flakes

Instructions

  • Add the sugar and butter to a medium to heavy duty saucepan then place the saucepan over a medium heat. Gently stir with a heat resistant spatula until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted. This should take a few minutes.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted, continue to stir until you have a smooth consistency then pour in the double cream while continuing to stir. Once combined, allow the caramel to gently simmer for around 2 minutes while you continue to stir. Be careful to avoid any splashes as the caramel will be very hot.    
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in sea salt. Give the caramel a good stir and allow to slightly cool before using. Remember caramel thickens as it cools.
