This is your basic caramel sauce, nothing fancy. In my opinion, a good starter recipe to maybe change to your liking afterwards.
Ingredients
- 0.33 cups water
- 1.5 cups white sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions

1
Bring the water, sugar, and butter to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not stir the mixture until the sugar has completely dissolved in the water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the caramel has turned golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.

Carefully pour in a slow, steady stream of cream into the caramel while stirring constantly. The hot caramel will boil vigorously when the cream is added and solidify in areas. Add the vanilla extract and salt. Continue stirring over low heat until the caramel is smooth and creamy, 5 to 10 minutes more. Allow to cool for at least half an hour before using.

Overnight Sourdough Buckwheat Pancakes
I find the taste of pure buckwheat pancakes too strong so I am using half all-purpose and half buckwheat flour. The pancakes can be served with syrup for breakfast, or like blinis with savory toppings such as smoked salmon and sour cream.
