Ingredients:

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Base:
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the brown sugar and flour. Whisk them together until they are well blended. This mixture will form the base of your caramel sauce. -
-
Add Liquids:
Gradually pour in the boiling water while continuing to stir. This helps to dissolve the sugar and flour mixture completely. Add the salt and stir until the mixture is smooth. -
Cook the Mixture:
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously as it cooks. Continue cooking for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. If the sauce becomes too thick, simply add a little more boiling water to reach the perfect texture. -
Finish the Sauce:
Once the sauce has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the butter until it’s completely melted and incorporated into the sauce. Next, add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine everything thoroughly. -
Cool and Store:
Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a container. Once cooled, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Simply reheat gently before serving if needed.
Enjoy this Classic Caramel Sauce drizzled over your favorite desserts, mixed into coffee, or used as a sweet topping for various treats. It’s a versatile and delectable addition to any kitchen!
