Salted caramel sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Step-by-step preparation

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it has melted completely and turned into a deep golden caramel.
2. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly add the cream, stirring constantly until it’s well combined with the caramel.
3. Add the butter and kosher salt and stir until the butter has melted and is well incorporated.
4. Return the pan to medium heat and cook for about 5–7 more minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and is smooth and glossy.
   5. Remove the pan from the heat and let the salted caramel sauce cool for a few minutes before serving.
