Ingredients

6 Tablespoons butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Heat the butter on medium heat in a small sauce pan. The butter should foam and then settle down. Continue to cook until it begins to gently brown and develops a toasty aroma, then remove from heat.

In a large saucepan heat the sugar on medium high. As the sugar begins to melt gently swirl the pan side to side frequently to ensure that the sugar melts evenly. Continue to cook and swirl until the caramel begins to slightly smoke and is a deep amber color. Remove the melted sugar from the heat and pour in the browned butter. Now add in the heavy cream, whisk until it is well blended.
