4 ingredients for a homemade salted butter caramel

• granulated sugar : it is with this that we make dry caramel.
• liquid cream : I always take 30% fat cream.
• salted butter : it allows the coulis to take on texture as it cools and gives it a slightly salty taste.
• Fleur de sel : this is the final touch to enhance the caramel flavor (you can do without it if necessary).

NB: the exact quantities are given to you in my recipe at the bottom of the page.

How to make salted butter caramel easily?

1. We realize a dry caramel : it's very simple, just heat the powdered sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat until it melts and takes on a nice amber color.
2. Addition of salted butter : once diced, add the butter and mix.
3. We incorporate warmed cream : the mixture makes large bubbles, this is normal.
4. The fleur de sel as a final touch: I love adding a final touch of salt before letting the salted butter caramel cool.

My tips for making this recipe a success

• Do not use any utensil to make dry caramel. : the powdered sugar melts on its own, you simply turn the pan using the handle.
• warm the cream before pouring it over the caramel : this helps avoid temperature shock (which hardens the caramel).
• let the salted butter caramel sit until the desired consistency is reached : the more you let it cool, the more it takes on the consistency of a spread.

How to store salted butter caramel?

It is easiest to store it in one or more glass jars with a lid. By putting it in the refrigerator it keeps up to 3 weeks.

The cold will harden the caramel, but you can make it liquid again by putting it in the microwave for a few seconds.
