Perfect Caramel Sauce image

If you would like a sauce that is very soft and almost pourable at room temperature, double the amount of cream to 1 cup. Otherwise this caramel sauce will have to be warmed to be pourable. Note from UnknownChef86: This is a recipe I adopted in 2006.

Time 25m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream, heated
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a heavy 4-quart or larger saucepan, preferably nonstick, stir together the sugar, corn syrup, and water until the sugar is completely moistened.
  • Heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the syrup is bubbling, about 5 minute.
  • Stop stirring and allow it to boil undisturbed until it turns a deep amber .
  • Immediately remove it from the heat and slowly and carefully pour the hot cream into the caramel.
  • It will bubble up furiously.
  • Using a high-temperature, heat-resistant rubber spatula, or a wooden spoon, stir the mixture until smooth, scraping up the thicker part that settles on the bottom.
  • If any lumps develop, return the pan to the heat and stir until they dissolve.
  • Stir in the butter.
  • The mixture will be streaky but will become uniform after cooking slightly and stirring.
  • Allow to cool for 3 minutes and then gently stir in the vanilla extract.
