Homemade caramel 3 ingredients

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

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

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour approximately half of the sugar from the total mass into a saucepan and start heating it over a slightly lower than medium heat.

3. STEP 3

   

   It’s better not to stir with a spoon so that it doesn’t form 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

   

   While the sugar is melting, put the cream in the microwave. They should be!!! hot!!!

6. STEP 6

   

   When all the sugar has dissolved (you need to be careful here, do not over-expose the sugar, as it may become hot, and consider that the caramel has spoiled) add butter. Mix everything well, be careful not to burn yourself!!!

7. STEP 7

   

   Next we send hot cream. Be careful here. The mixture 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 distinct salted caramel, you can add 0.5 tsp. salt.

8. STEP 8

   

   If you want liquid, 5 minutes will be enough, if thicker, 10 minutes. I cooked 8. This is how caramel turns out. While it is hot, it is liquid. But when it cools, it will become thicker. And when it sits in the refrigerator, it holds its shape really well.

9. STEP 9

   

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

10. STEP 10

    

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

11. STEP 11

    

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

I’ve already tried making caramel using this recipe twice, but it just doesn’t work. The first time it turned out to be a dark, heterogeneous mass with an incomprehensible taste, the second time it turned out better. The mass is homogeneous, but darker than in the video. The taste is similar to caramel, but it’s still not very tasty.. Such a good, easy-to-understand recipe, I think I can’t melt sugar properly on my glass-ceramic surface. It's a shame, I really wanted it to work out)))
