Pour into a greased muffin pan and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Pour over the salted caramel before serving.
To make the salted caramel, simmer the ingredients over a medium heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat and reduce until the mixture is sticky and golden.
