Ingredients:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Heat sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula.
2. Sugar will form clumps and eventually melt into a thick brown, amber-colored liquid as you continue to stir. Be careful not to burn.
3. Once sugar is completely melted, immediately add the butter. Be cautious as the caramel will bubble rapidly when the butter is added.
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. The mixture will rapidly bubble and/or splatter when added.
6. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute. It will rise in the pan as it boils.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Allow cooling before using.
