Caramel ( / ˈ k ær ə m ɛ l/ or / ˈ k ɑːr m əl/ [1] [2]) is an orange-brown confectionery product made by heating a range of sugars. It can be used as a flavoring in puddings and desserts, as a filling in bonbons or candy bars, or as a topping for ice cream and custard. Bake until the custard is just set. It will continue to cook with the residue heat even after it is taken out of the oven. Overbaking will make the custard dry and grainy (as the eggs curdle) Alternatively, all ingredients may be cooked together. In this procedure, the mixture is not heated above the firm ball stage (120°C [250°F]), so that caramelization of the milk occurs. This temperature is not high enough to caramelize sugar and this type of candy is often called milk caramel or cream caramel. Even though caramel candy is sometimes called "toffee" and is also compared with butterscotch, there is a difference. While toffee and butterscotch are more closely related than caramel, they do have most of the same ingredients. However, the difference is that toffee and butterscotch uses molasses or brown sugar while caramel uses white sugar. They are also cooked at different temperatures and they each have their own cooking techniques that makes them unique in taste and shape. [8] Salting [ edit ]

Compounds such as difructose anhydride may be created from the monosaccharides after water loss. Fragmentation reactions result in low-molecular-weight compounds that may be volatile and may contribute to flavor. Polymerization reactions lead to larger-molecular-weight compounds that contribute to the dark-brown color. [13] Salted caramel was created in 1977 by French pastry chef Henri Le Roux in Quiberon, Brittany, in the form of a salted butter caramel with crushed nuts ( caramel au beurre salé), using Breton demi-sel butter.
