Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 1 cup white sugar 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into slices ½ cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon heavy cream 1 pinch sea salt to taste Directions Place sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium-high heat, stirring continuously until sugar begins to melt. Continue stirring until sugar melts completely, begins to darken, and all chunks are dissolved, about 10 minutes. Stop stirring; continue to cook until sugar begins to smoke and turns a dark shade of amber, 3 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and wait 30 seconds. Whisk in butter until melted and combined. Slowly pour in 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cream, taking care because it can bubble over. Sprinkle in salt; stir to combine. Transfer sauce to a jar; cool completely before refrigerating.
