Salted Caramel Sauce
Salted caramel is one of the easiest recipes. I found this caramel recipe to be the best that I have ever, had. This is my first trial and it comes out perfectly. It is made with sugar, cream, butter, and salt. It is sweet, salty, and sticky caramel. And trust me if you love caramel then after trying this recipe you’ll be hooked with this caramel.
Sugar: The most important ingredient of caramel. Use granulated sugar. But do not stir the sugar while caramelizing. If you stir too much then sugar starts crystalizing and forms a lump. And this harms your caramel badly. So just swirl the pan.
Cream: You can use heavy cream or fresh cream for this recipe both go well.
Butter: Use unsalted butter because when you use salted butter then you can not control the salt balance. That’s why to use unsalted butter.
