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.

It's a new year and my mind is full of different r It's a new year and my mind is full of different recipe fusions, ideas and delicious out of the box creations.

However I have one question for you all...

What crazy ideas or fusion recipes would you like me to try out, bring to life and share here on Instagram and in Stories?

GO!
What a good looking line up! For many (myself inc What a good looking line up!

For many (myself included), 2020 was a bit of a blur. But I did keep myself busy and my Instagram kept on ticking away in the background, either with photos or stories. 

Still in the early days of January, I thought I’d quickly share my top 9 Instagram photos of 2020 before the New Year passes. 

Having this opportunity has given me a chance to re-visit some of my past content and highlight what we’ve enjoyed throughout the year, cakes, bread, cookies and obviously lots of home baking. 

I love the community I’ve built up over the past year on both Instagram and Facebook, so let’s continue this journey of sweetness together into 2021.
Have you had your first coffee of the New Year yet Have you had your first coffee of the New Year yet, and how do you like yours?

I’m a flat white kind of guy. I like to keep it simple with a nice strong espresso shot and plenty of full fat milk. MmMmm, be right back...
