ingredients

2 portions

70 g sugar
20 g water
20 g butter
60 g cream (room temperature)
1 pinch of salt
optional: a pinch of vanilla powder or scraped vanilla pod

Preparation of the caramel sauce

Bring water, sugar, salt and if necessary the vanilla to the boil on medium heat in a pot. Meanwhile stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar is dissolved.

Then continue to simmer the sugar mass on a low heat without stirring until it has reached a golden brown colour. With the above mentioned quantity this takes about 5-8 minutes. You should always be especially careful with hot sugar syrup, as you can get burns very quickly. Therefore, choose a pot that is high enough to avoid splashes.
