Salted Caramel

August 23, 2015 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Nothing can beat the perfect sweet and salty combo, this is why Salted Caramel always takes main stage. This recipe is my favourite, creating a smooth and creamy caramel, perfect for any kind of deserts or baking. If salted caramel isn’t for you, simply leave out the salt and you’re still left with the most amazing caramel.

Serves: 300ml
Ingredients
  • 250ml Cream
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 220g Caster Sugar
  • ½ - 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Corn Flour (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan add your cream and vanilla and gently heat on a low temperature.
  2. In another saucepan add your caster sugar along with 6 tablespoons of water and bring to the boil, making sure that you don't stir it at all.
  3. Set timer for 5-8 minutes and upon the 5 minute mark watch it like a hawk.
  4. Your sugar syrup should be bubbling and starting to turn a warm amber colour, this is when you know it's ready.
  5. Remove from the heat and slowly pour in the warm cream. Whisk vigorously to remove any lumps and anything sticking to the sides.
  6. Lastly add the salt while the caramel is still warm allowing it to dissolve. If you're unsure how much salt to put in, taste as you go to develop your preferred balance.
  7. Note: The caramel may vary in thickness while it's warm and will thicken up as it cools or is placed in the fridge. If you've cooled caramel is still to running, simply return it to the heat, bringing it back to a light boil. Mix together 1 teaspoon of cornflour with 1 tablespoon of cream or water in a small bowl. Slowly whisk this into caramel and allow to simmer for another 2 minutes, this will thicken it up nicely.

💥 Happy New Year to all my current and new swee 💥 Happy New Year to all my current and new sweet toothed Gatherers, let’s do a round of introductions.

My name’s Dane from Hamilton in New Zealand, and I’m the treat obsession face behind Baker Gatherer and am solely to blame for all these delicious posts and recipes.

I started the Baker Gatherer website in late 2015 as a place for me to experiment with baking and share recipes. I then started a Facebook page as a place to share those recipes and engage with other like minded foodies. After that I started this Instagram, which I consider my visual library full of cacti, flatlays and sweet treats galore.

Now, I’d like to take this opportunity to get to know you all a bit better. So feel free to introduce yourself in the comments below, let me know your favourite treats, your baking successes, your glorious fails, or simply ask me any burning questions.

I realise I can be a bit of a mystery (because I’d rather focus on the food), but let’s try and change that for 2023.

Six Quick Facts!

1. I’m a Virgo ♍️
2. I don’t do small talk 🙅🏽‍♂️
3. Watermelon is my favourite fruit 🍉
4. I’m obsessed with all things Space 🪐
5. I have a teaching and graphic design degree ✏️
6. I’m a perfectionist. Even my facts run shortest to longest ✔️
