5 ways with Salted Caramel

Salted Caramel has become hugely popular in the last few years so I thought it was about time I shared a few recipe inspirations with this delicious filling!


First of all, here's a base recipe from Jamie Oliver for Salted Caramel, and it's delicious! Its super simple and takes literally no time at all, so give it a go...

Ingredients
A dash of vanilla essence
A pinch of sea salt
40 ml double cream
15 g salted butter
60 g caster sugar
40 g golden syrup


Method
Combine the cream, vanilla, half of the butter and sea salt in a pan.
Cook, whisking over a low heat for about 2 to 3 minutes until it’s just bubbling,  and then take the pan off the heat and set aside.
Place the caster sugar and golden syrup in a medium pan over a low heat. Don’t stir, just gently swirl the pan to help dissolve the sugar.
Turn up the heat to medium and keep swirling until the sugar turns to golden caramel. Take off the heat.
Stir the caramel into the hot milk with a wooden spoon.
Return it to a low heat whilst stirring in the remaining butter, then remove from the heat and set aside.
Scrunch up a large piece of greaseproof paper, make it wet (shake off to remove any excess), then use it to line a baking tray.
Pour in the caramel, sprinkle with another pinch of salt, and place it on a tea towel in the fridge for 30 minutes, until you have a thick, gooey caramel.

Now that is a super simple caramel recipe!


So here's my 5 recipe ideas for salted caramel, and a few links for where to find some delicious recipes!


1) Salted Caramel Brownie (Jamie Oliver)

2) Salted Caramel Cupcakes (Marsha's Baking Addiction)

3) Salted Caramel Cheesecake (The Baking Explorer)

Rosemary, Black Pepper and Sea Salt Scones

Image
Hello! Today's recipe is a makeshift one. I fancied making some scones, but wasn't too sure what type or what shape to make, and so I ended up picking some fresh rosemary from the garden, and pairing it with some cracked black pepper and sea salt flakes. They turned out pretty scrummy! Ingredients 2 cups plain flour 4 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp sea salt flakes, plus a little extra to finish 1 tsp sugar 1 tbsp. butter 1 tbsp. freshly chopped rosemary (or 1 tsp of dried) 1 cup milk (I didn't use the whole cup full, but you can use the remainder for washing before baking.) Method Pre-heat the oven to 220C. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl, and rub in the butter. Add the rosemary, and mix again, before adding the milk. Combine with your hands to form a soft dough. Roll out on to a floured board to 1.5 inch thickness and cut into either rounds or squares. I also shaped some of mine into a doughnut shape by rolling out a section of the dough into a long thin ...
