Real salted caramel requires patience, dexterity and a sugar-thermometer, none of which come naturally to me, but a salted caramel sauce can be rustled up in a matter of moments. It is wonderful dribbled over vanilla ice cream or a warm chocolate brownie, chocolate cake and fondant puddings. But next up, please consider adding a warm brownie (regular, not the bacon ones) to this pairing. Or drizzle over chocolate melting-bellied fondant puddings or chocolate cake. It makes a divine accompaniment to apple crumble, apple cake or simple baked apple.
Ingredients
75 grams unsalted butter

So easy to make, these truffles have an unbelievably satiny texture, only achieved by using Jenny’s Clotted Cream. Rich and indulgent, make them for a special occasion or pack them up in a pretty box as a gift. For a contemporary twist, try flavoring your truffles with a 1/4tsp minced chili, the zest of an un-waxed lemon or 1/2tsp sea salt.

Lucy launched Lucy’s when she discovered no one in Cape Town was offering a ‘pukka’ Traditional English Cream Tea (Decadent Scones that don’t overpower your plate, homemade jam with no lumps which you know exactly what has gone into it and Clotted Cream as it is made back in the West of England.)
