Salted Caramel
 
Makes about 2 cups
Ingredients
  • 2 cups (400 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
Instructions
  1. Line a half sheet pan with a nonstick baking mat.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. (Sugar will clump as you heat, but continue to stir, and it will soon smooth out.) Cook until sugar turns amber colored and is just beginning to smoke slightly. Immediately pour onto prepared pan, and sprinkle with salt. Let cool completely.
Notes
Pro Tip: Have everything ready to go for the Salted Caramel. There are a few seconds between a toasty caramel and a burnt sugar, so you want to be able to pour out the caramel as soon as it is ready.
