A few of my upcoming recipes call for caramel to be used. As someone with a sweet tooth I absolutely adore all things caramel. And although Carnation caramel is wonderful, there is nothing quite a satisfying as rich, sticky, homemade caramel sauce.
This is an incredibly simple caramel sauce recipe that can be used as an ingredient for endless baking recipes, or served as a delicious topping.
Ingredients
100g caster sugar
60g golden syrup
60ml double cream
1 tbsp butter
- Start by melting the butter in a pan and add in the double cream. Stir until heated through and set to the side.
- In a separate pan mix the sugar and syrup, shake the pan occasionally to prevent the sugar from sticking.
- Once the sugar has begun to melt stir continuously until you have a thick glossy caramel.
- Combine this with the cream mixture and stir until completely incorporated.
I like to store this caramel sauce in an air tight mason jar in the fridge.
Why not tweak this recipe by adding vanilla essence or seeds from a vanilla pod for extra sweetness, or add a teaspoon of sea salt flakes for a delicious salted caramel.
If there are any other basic recipes like this that you'd like me to post then please let me know in the comments.
Happy baking!
