1
Before starting, prepare all your ingredients - cut the unsalted butter into small cubes, and have the heavy cream and salt nearby. Also, have a strainer ready to strain the caramel sauce.
2
In a flat, deep-bottomed pan with a white or stainless-steel base, combine the white granulated sugar and water. Swirl the pan around to moisten the sugar.
3
Place the pan on medium heat and cover the pan with a glass lid. Avoid stirring or swirling the pan, and keep a close eye on it.
4
After 9 minutes, remove the lid to check for an amber hue. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
5
Once the sugar has turned amber, remove the pan from the heat. Carefully pour the heavy cream into the pan while whisking, keeping your face away from the pan. The mixture will bubble up and then settle down.
6
Add the unsalted butter cubes and continue whisking until the butter melts and the sauce is smooth.
7
Mix in the salt and whisk again.
8
Strain the salted caramel into a clean, airtight jar.
9
Sprinkle a little more salt on top and let the caramel sauce cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken as it cools and will thicken even more when refrigerated in the fridge.
