Ingredients

• 225 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 60 ml Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and set aside to soften at room temperature.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, add the granulated sugar and heat over medium heat until it begins to melt. Use a silicone or wooden spatula to slowly stir the sugar as it turns into a golden caramel. Be patient and do not rush this step to avoid burning.

Step 3

Once the sugar has fully melted and reached a deep amber color, carefully pour in the heavy cream while stirring. The mixture will bubble vigorously, so proceed cautiously.

Step 4

Stir the caramel mixture until smooth and remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 5

Add the softened butter cubes to the caramel in batches, whisking thoroughly to create a creamy and silky consistency.

Step 6

Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor.

Step 7

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then transfer it to a glass jar or container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the Butter Baby set to a spreadable consistency.

Step 8

Serve Butter Baby on warm toast, over pancakes, or as a topping for baked goods. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, and bring it to room temperature before using for best texture.
