Easy Homemade Caramel Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

Raise the heat to medium high, and cook until it turns amber colored. Add in the butter and wait a few seconds for that to melt and stop sputtering.
  2. Remove the pan from the heat, and add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. It will bubble up but will calm down within 5 to 10 seconds. Let the caramel sauce cool, then transfer to a container.
