Serves Makes 1 jar

Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

85 g butter
200 g sugar
½ cup cream
a sprinkle of sea salt (optional)

Method

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low to medium heat, swirling the pan frequently until it separates and brown bits start to form at the bottom. Once it’s golden brown and smells nutty, remove from the heat and allow to cool.

2. Place the sugar in a pan over a medium heat and melt. When dark and caramel-coloured, whisk in the cooled browned butter.

3. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly add the cream while whisking (it’ll splatter, but don’t panic!) until glossy.

4. Return to the heat and simmer over a low heat for a few minutes, then allow to cool and thicken. Add a sprinkle of sea salt if you like.
