Salted Butter Caramels - ★Cooking Recipes★

Directions for: Salted Butter Caramels

Ingredients

non-stick vegetable oil spray

cup heavy cream

1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise

2 cups sugar

2 Tbsp light corn syrup

fleur de sel or flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)

4 Tbsp (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Directions

1. Coat 8-x-8-inch baking pan with non-stick spray and line with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides.

2. In a small saucepan, scrape seeds from vanilla bean into the cream and then add the pod. Heat until cream starts to steam, remove from heat and discard vanilla pod.

3. In another small saucepan, bring sugar, corn syrup, and cup water to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil, swirling pan occasionally (dont stir) and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush, for about 5 minutes or until mixture turns a deep shade of amber. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla cream and a pinch of fleur de sel. Return to medium heat and cook, swirling until caramel is smooth, about 1 minute.

4. Remove caramel from heat and a little at a time, whisk in butter. Pour mixture into prepared baking pan and let cool 4 hours or overnight.

5. Use the parchment paper to lift caramels from the pan; cut into small, 1/2-inch pieces and sprinkle with fleur de sel.
