Instructions
- Add the white sugar to a heavy bottom stainless steel skillet. Melt sugar over medium heat. It will go from white, to yellow, amber then light brown and dark, like a copper penny. Once a whisp of smoke starts, turn off the heat, move off burner.
- Carefully add the butter and whisk until thoroughly combined. Next add the heavy cream in batches and whisk thoroughly and vigorously. This will bubble up so be careful.
- Once caramel is smooth and mix thoroughly, add the vanilla and sea salt flakes, whisking again to thoroughly mix in.
- Allow caramel to cool before pouring in clean, sealed containers and storing it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
