   Étape 1. Melt the sugar

   Add the sugar to a dry heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat on medium. Let the sugar melt evenly and watch carefully once it starts browning, as it can go from golden to burnt quickly.

   Do not walk away from the pan while the sugar browns.

   Étape 2. Add the butter

   Lower the heat before adding the butter. Add the butter gradually while stirring to combine smoothly.

   Hot sugar and cold butter can splatter, so stay safe.

   Étape 4. Stir in white chocolate

   Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the white chocolate until fully melted and smooth.

   Adding white chocolate off heat prevents burning or separation.
