Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters Water
- 10 grams Cornstarch
- 30 milliliters Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar and 60 milliliters of water. Stir gently to moisten the sugar, but avoid splashing sugar crystals onto the sides of the pan.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Without stirring, let the mixture cook until the sugar completely dissolves and turns into a deep amber color. This will take approximately 6–8 minutes. Rotate the pan gently if necessary to ensure even caramelization.
Step 3
While the sugar is cooking, in a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 30 milliliters of cold water to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.
Step 4
Once the caramel reaches the desired color, immediately remove it from heat to avoid burning. Carefully and slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
Step 5
Return the saucepan to low heat and stir continuously for about 1–2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your preferred sauce consistency.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before using.
Step 7
Serve warm over desserts like ice cream or cakes, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving if necessary.
