SUCRE à LA CRèME

Steps:

• Prepare an 8x8"pan: Butter, spray with nonstick spray, or and/or line with parchment paper, set aside.
• In a large saucepan, combine cream and brown sugar. Affix a candy thermometer to the pan; bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• When mixture reaches 240 F (115 C) - soft ball stage - remove from heat and stir in butter. Carefully beat the sugar mixture until it loses its shine - you'll see it start to crust on the sides of the saucepan.
• Pour into prepared pan, allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting. Allow to cool completely before removing from pan.

• Line an 8-inch (20-cm) square pan with plastic wrap and lightly oil.
• In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cream, sugar, maple syrup, butter and salt and bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar. Attach a candy thermometer in the center of the pan and simmer over medium heat without stirring until the thermometer reads 237 degrees F (114 degrees C). Add the vanilla extract without stirring.
• Place the pan in a cold water bath. Cool, without stirring, until the thermometer reads 113 degrees F (45 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the water bath. Using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon, stir vigorously until the mixture begins to lighten in color and become creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Please note that if you whip too much, the sugar and cream mixture will harden before you have time to pour it into the pan.
• Pour immediately into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Garnish with crushed toasted pecans and Maldon salt. Cover with plastic wrap. Let cool for about 1 hour at room temperature or 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Remove from the pan and remove from the plastic wrap. Cut into squares. Store in an airtight container.
