Instructions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine *sugar* and *water*. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook without stirring until the sugar reaches a deep amber color.
Step 2
Carefully pour in the *milk* and add the *butter*. The mixture will bubble vigorously, so take care to avoid splatters. Stir gently until the mixture becomes smooth. If you notice any *lumps*, use a *blender* to mix until completely smooth.
Step 3
If desired, mix in the *glucose syrup* to help prevent crystallization and extend the shelf life of the sauce. This step is optional but recommended for longer storage.
Step 4
Remove from heat and allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly before using. Once cool, transfer to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Faq
- Why isn’t my caramel thickening?
The caramel sauce is made to be smooth and pourable rather than thick. If it’s too thin, try cooking a bit longer on low heat, but remember that it’s designed to be more of a sauce.
- Can I use this caramel in my cake frosting?
While delicious, this sauce is too fluid for cake layers. It’s best used as a topping or flavoring rather than a filling.
- Should I use a thermometer for the caramel?
No thermometer is needed for this sauce. Just keep an eye on the mixture, stirring occasionally until it reaches the desired consistency.
- What’s the purpose of the glucose syrup?
The glucose syrup prevents crystallization, meaning your sauce stays smooth and extends its shelf life. However, it’s optional!
- How can I give more depth to the flavor?
Adding a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract can deepen and enrich the flavor of your caramel sauce!
- Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Absolutely! Store it in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week. Warm it gently before serving for best results.
