Seek the Golden Hue: After 4-5 minutes, the syrup will turn into a beautiful amber color. This is the caramel stage you’re aiming for.
Cool it Down: Immediately remove from heat. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
Add Flavors: Whisk in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until you have a smooth, silky caramel.
Serve and Impress: Drizzle over ice cream, pancakes, or any dessert of your choice. Enjoy the delightful taste of your homemade 6-minute caramel!
Expert Tips:
Pan Choice Matters: Using a light-colored pan can help you see the color change more easily.
Safety First: Caramel can burn quickly and is extremely hot. Always exercise caution.
Crystallization Woes: If you notice the sugar crystallizing on the sides of the pan, brush it down with a wet pastry brush.
