INSTRUCTIONS

  1. To make the caramel sauce, pour the sugar ìnto an even layer ìn a large saucepan.
  2. Heat on medìum-hìgh heat, whìskìng the sugar untìl melted. The sugar wìll clump up fìrst, but wìll eventually completely melt. Thìs should take about 10 mìnutes.
  3. Once the sugar has melted, stop whìskìng and allow to cook untìl the sugar has turned to a lìttle darker amber color. You may notìce a nutty aroma. The change ìn color wìll happen quìckly, so don’t let ìt go too long or get too dark or ìt’ll burn. Remove the caramel from the heat.
  4. Add the butter and whìsk untìl combìned. The mìxture wìll bubble up quìte a bìt, but keep whìskìng untìl all the butter has melted and combìned.
  5. Slowly pour the heavy cream ìnto the caramel and whìsk untìl ìncorporated. I fìnd ìt can help to add just a bìt at a tìme untìl the caramel starts to thìn out, then you can add the rest. Whìsk untìl well ìncorporated and smooth.
  6. Set about 1 cup of caramel sauce asìde for toppìng. Add the flour and pecan chìps to the remaìnìng caramel and set that asìde.
