Small Batch Salted Caramel Sauce

1/4 cup salted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 heavy cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Salt to taste

Melt butter and sugar over low-medium heat, whisk until combined well. Then leave it alone! Try not to stir while it bubbles. Once it starts to darken around the edges, you can swish the pan a little. Once it’s all looking a bit darker, add cream and vanilla and stir away! It’ll bubble up vigorously. Add salt and turn off the heat. Stir to combine. Let it cool off for a few minutes then pour over something delicious like french toast. Keeps ok in the fridge but best fresh. This makes just enough to cover two servings of french toast with a little leftover. Double if you need more!
