Total Time 25 minutes mins
- 200 grams granulated sugar 1 cup
- 120 mL milk, lukewarm temperature ½ cup
- 42 grams butter, unsalted 3 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt, or flakey salt works best
Melt the sugar in a large deep saucepan, over medium-high heat, until it is light amber in color. Turn the heat down to low at this point.
Add in ½ cup of lukewarm milk carefully. The mixture will bubble up vigorously at this point, especially if your milk is cold.
Stir the caramel, and let it cook for another 5-10 minutes until it is as thick as you need it. Keep in mind the caramel will thicken as it cools down.
Remove from heat, and stir in the butter and salt.
Let it cool before using it for your favorite recipes.
Store the rest in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
