Le caramel

How to succeed in making a caramel

Making a caramel can be tricky sometimes. It often gets hard and it's always annoying to waste a whole bunch of sugar just to make caramel that should be easy to make...

So, here is my recipe that has worked out not to bad for me:

Step 1

 

Take a very clean pan, add 100g/0.5 cup of very clean sugar and pour 30g/1.058oz/0.066lbs of water. Stir with a spoon as long as the mixture is cold then put it on medium heat and stop stirring.

Step 2

 

Wait for a few minutes (approx 10 min) until the caramel gets dark blonde, then serve. You can use it to make pudding, nougatine, on top of puff buns...
