Ingredients
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- ¼ Cup Water
- 6 Tablespoons Hazelnut Butter
- ½ Cup Heavy Cream
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
- Salt A Pinch
Instructions
- In a 3-quart heavy-bottomed pot, combine the water and the sugar
- To ensure it sits in a flat top, give it a little stir
- Add the sugar to the pot and heat it over medium-low heat
- Once it melts, stir it around until it becomes clear and begins to sparkle
- It will initially be cloudy, but it will eventually clear up and bubble
- Three to four minutes is how long it takes
- At this stage, don't stir again; instead, let it boil, swirl the pan occasionally, and clean the pan's sides as necessary to prevent crystallization
- Continue swirling and boiling until the mixture thickens and takes on a deep amber color similar to honey, even though the sugar will begin to cling to one another
- Watch it closely so it doesn't burn; this could take eight to twelve minutes
- Gently pour in the butter and stir until completely melted
- Be careful and continue whisking; the caramel will bubble up quickly
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually pour in the cream, whisking constantly, until it is well combined
- Incorporate the vanilla and salt
- Let it cool in the pan for ten minutes
- Then transfer to a lidded glass jar and allow it to cool completely
- As it cools, it will become thicker
