Ingredients

  • 60 gSugar
  • 12 gButter
  • 25 gFresh cream

Method

  1. 1

    In a heavy-bottomed pan, melt the sugar on a low flame. Do not stir — swirl the pan if needed.

  2. 2

    Once the sugar has melted and turned a deep amber, take it off the heat and quickly stir in the butter. It will bubble — stand back.

  3. 3

    Return to a low flame. Slowly drizzle in the cream while stirring. The mixture will hiss and seize, then loosen into a sauce.

  4. 4

    Cool to thicken. Refrigerated, it keeps 2 weeks.
