🥰 Chef's tips
- Choose a good-quality butter with 82% fat (as in Président butters, for example), since this is one of the main ingredients in caramel.
- It's tempting to turn up the heat to cook faster, but don't do it - you'll burn your sugar and have to start all over again. And stay well in front of the pan, it can burn quickly.
- Before the sugar has caramelized, don't stir: this will create lumps that will be extremely difficult to melt later (I've had to throw away my caramel...).
- Cool the cream before pouring it into the caramel.
- Don't overcook your caramel : it will harden as it cools.
💡 Frequently Asked Questions
In the pan, the caramel is quite liquid, even at the end of its cooking time. As it cools, the caramel will solidify and take on a softer texture. When you put it in the fridge to preserve it, the caramel is hard. Put it in the microwave for a few seconds to make it more liquid.
Of course, all you have to do is replace the salted butter with sweet butter.
It's very simple: fill it with water and boil it. The sugar in the caramel will melt and all you have to do is rub it off with a sponge.
Place in a large saucepan and cover with water. Once it boils, allow 10 minutes.
❄️ Storage
Once poured into a sterilized jar, place in the fridge and store for 1 month.
