Caramel Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 cup white sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Before starting, gather all the ingredients needed for the recipe. This will ensure a smooth cooking process.

3. Add Butter: Once the sugar has melted and turned into caramel, add the unsalted butter to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the butter is fully incorporated into the caramelized sugar. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious to avoid any splatters.
