Caramel Sauce (with Toffee)
1.
Pour 100 grams of caster sugar into the pot, taking care not to splash the sugar on the wall of the pot. If you use the wet caramel method, continue to pour 30g of water; pay attention to choosing a thick-bottomed pot, so that the heat is balanced, and it is not easy to form overheated areas. In addition, you should choose a larger pot than you think, because adding cream later will form a lot of bubbles. May overflow;
2.
Heat on a medium heat without stirring. The sugar will dissolve in water quickly, start to produce bubbles, and the water will begin to evaporate; if it is dry caramel method, use a high-temperature resistant silicone spatula to help the fine sugar melt evenly. Do not stir it after it has completely melted; After melting, it will take 4-5 minutes for the color of the sugar liquid to start to change. Don't stir it! Don't disturb! Don't disturb! During this period, the cream can be heated in the microwave for 40 seconds for standby;
3.
After the color starts to appear, pay special attention. If you find that the color is uneven, it may be uneven heating. You can slightly shake the pot, but do not stir it. Once the desired color appears, the darker amber color is immediately removed from the fire.
4.
If you want to add butter, add 20 grams of butter at this step and stir until it is completely dissolved;
5.
Pour the microwave-heated cream into the caramel in small amounts, stir well, and finally add some salt and stir well
6.
Put the whole pot in cold water to cool down, continue to stir the caramel sauce, transfer to a small bottle after cooling down, cover tightly, and put it in the refrigerator.

Toffee is actually very simple. 1. Mix butter and cream and melt in the microwave for later use; 2. Put the sugar, water, and corn syrup in a thick-bottomed pot without stirring. Cook on medium heat to 320 degrees Fahrenheit, not more than 320 degrees Fahrenheit If there is no thermometer, visually check that the part close to the pot wall appears light amber; 3. Slowly add the butter and cream mixture in portions, and stir to mix evenly; 4. Continue to stir and heat to 240 degrees Fahrenheit, pour into the pad and bake In the paper container or chocolate mold, heat it for 2 minutes without a thermometer, visual inspection and no steam; 5 or 15 minutes later, sprinkle with coarse salt, wait 2-3 hours, and cut the toffee into small pieces with a knife. Block, wait for it to cool, you can wrap a beautiful candy paper to take pictures and send it to Moments! 😋! If you want to be harder, heat it to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. If you want to be softer, you can increase the amount of cream by 30-60ml. If you are interested, you can try the method of poing an English almond toffee later!
Tips:
1. Be sure to use a thick-bottomed pot to heat evenly;
2. Don't stir after the sugar is dissolved, stirring will promote crystallization;
3. If you use a natural gas burner, pay attention to controlling the flame, try to use a small fire, don't let the sugar on the pot wall burn, the small fire will only make the production time longer, but the heating is even and easy to control;
4. When the sugar is poured into the pot, be careful not to splash the sugar on the pot wall, but even if you pay attention, a little crystal will appear on the pot wall during the heating process. You can brush it down with a brush or leave it alone. Rarely, it will dissolve when you add cream afterwards to produce a lot of bubbles
5 In short, don't over-scorch, it will cause bitterness, but if you do it twice more, you will master the heat! Delicious 😋 worth it!
