Place 1 tsp of Sea Salt on-top to finish

 

Caramel Sauce

Place butter, corn syrup and sugar in a heavy bottom, medium sauce pot

Place over medium high heat

Stir with a high heat spatula and start to caramelize, you want a golden dark caramel

Wash the sides of the pan with a paint brush dipped in water as not to burn any of the sugar

In a separate sauce pan, heat the cream to a simmer
