Make a batch of this sauce before guests come to dinner, keep it warm in the oven while they eat, then spoon it over vanilla ice cream for dessert: That's a win. Or make it in the morning and pair it with pancakes. Mr. Flay, the voluble chef and television star, pairs it with double-chocolate pancakes. That is a very serious business.

CARAMEL SAUCE

Caramel is sugar that has been taken just to the edge of burning. Caramel's color reveals the extent to which it is cooked. The palest form is just concentrated sugar syrup. The next stage is golden, followed by amber and dark. This caramel sauce makes for the perfect dessert topping.

PERFECT CARAMEL SAUCE



Perfect Caramel Sauce image

If you would like a sauce that is very soft and almost pourable at room temperature, double the amount of cream to 1 cup. Otherwise this caramel sauce will have to be warmed to be pourable. Note from UnknownChef86: This is a recipe I adopted in 2006.

Time 25m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream, heated
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a heavy 4-quart or larger saucepan, preferably nonstick, stir together the sugar, corn syrup, and water until the sugar is completely moistened.
  • Heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the syrup is bubbling, about 5 minute.
  • Stop stirring and allow it to boil undisturbed until it turns a deep amber .
  • Immediately remove it from the heat and slowly and carefully pour the hot cream into the caramel.
  • It will bubble up furiously.
  • Using a high-temperature, heat-resistant rubber spatula, or a wooden spoon, stir the mixture until smooth, scraping up the thicker part that settles on the bottom.
  • If any lumps develop, return the pan to the heat and stir until they dissolve.
  • Stir in the butter.
  • The mixture will be streaky but will become uniform after cooking slightly and stirring.
  • Allow to cool for 3 minutes and then gently stir in the vanilla extract.
