Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon fleur de sel

  • ¼ cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Combine 1/4 cup water, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan; stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the mixture reaches 350 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes.
