Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the dark brown sugar and salt, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture bubbles vigorously and smells deeply caramelized, about 3–4 minutes. The sugar will look grainy at first, then melt into a glossy, dark amber paste.
