Recipes FAQ

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?

Yes, but you may want to adjust the amount of salt you add to the recipe.

Can I use a substitute for milk?

Yes, you can use any kind of milk or milk substitute that you prefer.

Why did my caramel sauce turn out grainy?

This can happen if the sugar crystallizes while cooking. To prevent this, make sure the sugar is completely dissolved before letting it boil.

Recipe Tips

- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning. - Keep a close eye on the sugar mixture as it cooks, as it can turn from amber to burnt quickly. - If you want a deeper caramel flavor, you can let the sugar mixture cook for a few more minutes before adding the butter.
