The recipe is in his book How to Make Chocolates. Add the remaining confectioners' sugar and beat on low speed just until the sugar has fully moistened, then turn the speed up to medium-high and beat until well incorporated, about 3-5 minutes. Golden syrup: This adds a lovely caramel flavour to this recipe to intensify that salted caramel flavour. With the mixture running on low, slowly stream in the 240g egg. Mix on medium speed for 4 minutes, or until the egg is fully incorporated. Test the consistency of the batter by dipping in the beater and pulling up. If it forms a v which eventually breaks off, you are good to go. If it seems too stiff, slowly add another beaten egg and mix to incorporate. Water– This helps the sugar not burn as it sits and boils. The addition of the water is why it’s called “wet-method” caramel sauce.

This recipe calls for a batch of six choux éclair shells. Please see the accompanying choux pastry recipe for éclairs for full instructions on how to make the dough. Sugar–use white, granulated or caster sugar. While either will work, caster sugar is finer, so will melt and dissolve a little easier. Use real sugar, not a sugar substitute. Thank you for this recipe and for your straightforward instructions and tips. I had never made caramel sauce before now, so having all your advice was really helpful. And now, thanks to you, I have a beautiful salted caramel sauce.

Line a 8-9" 20-23cm square tin (that's at least 2.5cm tall) with paper. Add the butter, caster sugar, brown sugar and syrup to the (scraped out, empty) caramel saucepan.

Salted Caramel Sauce IngredientsThe process of making the salted caramel pastry cream is pretty similar to a regular pastry cream, except that the caramel acts as the ‘milk’ in the pastry cream - so instead of pouring warm milk into the yolk mix to make the pastry cream and temper the eggs, the caramel is used instead. Alternatively, all ingredients may be cooked together. In this procedure, the mixture is not heated above the firm ball stage (120°C [250°F]), so that caramelization of the milk occurs. This temperature is not high enough to caramelize sugar and this type of candy is often called milk caramel or cream caramel. Even though caramel candy is sometimes called "toffee" and is also compared with butterscotch, there is a difference. While toffee and butterscotch are more closely related than caramel, they do have most of the same ingredients. However, the difference is that toffee and butterscotch uses molasses or brown sugar while caramel uses white sugar. They are also cooked at different temperatures and they each have their own cooking techniques that makes them unique in taste and shape.

I have been known to eat it by the spoonful!
