Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup butter cut into pieces
  • 1.3 cups sugar 
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 0.3 cup water 
  • 0.8 cup whipping cream 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • pastry brush

Directions

  1. Combine sugar and water in a large heavy saucepan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high, and boil gently, without stirring, until syrup turns a deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush and swirling pan (about 8 minutes). (Swirling the pan, instead of stirring, promotes more even cooking.) Gradually add cream (sauce will bubble vigorously).
  2. Add butter; stir gently until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla.
