3
tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
1. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together the sugar, salt, water
and corn syrup. Be sure to clean the inside walls of the pan if there is any
sugar on the sides (a clean, wet pastry brush works best). Set over medi-
um-low heat, to keep the mixture at a low simmer, and cook until the sugar
mixture turns a very light amber color (about 15 to 20 minutes). Keep a close
eye on the caramel sauce as it can burn easily.
2. Once the sugar mixture has a light amber color, take it off the stove and
slowly and carefully stir in the cream. After the cream has been incorporat-
ed, slowly whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, continually whisking to
emulsify until all the butter has been added. Use immediately, or keep warm
over a pot of warm water.
