🍯 How to Make the Perfect Caramel

The caramel sauce is the first step and makes all the difference in taste and presentation.

Step-by-step:

Add the sugar to a saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Stir gently until the sugar melts and turns golden brown.
Carefully add the hot water (it will bubble up!) and stir until smooth.
Pour the caramel into a flan mold (the kind with a hole in the middle), coating the bottom and sides. Set aside.
