Homemade caramel 3 ingredients

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   For cooking, we will definitely need a saucepan with a thick bottom.

2. Step 2:

   

   About half of the sugar from the total mass is poured into a saucepan and on a fire slightly below average we begin to heat.

3. Step 3:

   

   It is better not to mix with a spoon so that it does not take lumps, and sometimes just "roll" from side to side.

4. Step 4:

   

   When almost all the sugar has dissolved, add the second half. Also sometimes stirring - shaking from side to side.

5. Step 5:

   

   And while the sugar is heating, we send the cream to the microwave. They must be!!! hot!!!

6. Step 6:

   

   When all the sugar has dissolved (here you need to be careful not to overdo it, because it may get hot, and consider that the caramel has deteriorated) add butter. Mix everything well, carefully, do not get burned!!!

8. Step 7:

   

   Then we send hot cream. Be careful here. The mass will boil, this is normal (there is a big difference in temperature). Mix everything thoroughly so that nothing burns at the bottom and boil. At this stage, you can add a pinch of salt. It will set off the taste. And if you want a pronounced salted caramel, you can add 0.5 tsp of salt.

9. Step 8:

   

   If you want liquid - 5 minutes will be enough, if thicker - 10 minutes. I cooked 8. Here is such a caramel turns out. As long as it's hot, it's liquid. But when it cools down, it will become thicker. And when it lies in the refrigerator, it keeps its shape right well.

10. Step 9:

    

    Let it cool down a little, and pour it into a jar in which we will store it. After it is infused in the refrigerator, the caramel becomes even tastier.

11. Step 10:

    

    Our caramel cream sauce is ready. It is very similar to candy "Toffee".

12. Step 11:

    

    This is the consistency of caramel after a night spent in the refrigerator. If you warm it up, it will become liquid again!!!
