Notes
- You can use whole milk, 2% or nonfat but whole milk is best. Because this recipe doesn't use heavy cream you can also use nondairy milk, but the caramel might be thinner.
- Make sure to start the clock once it's BOILING. That means big bubbles all over the pan, not little bubbles around the edge (that's simmering).
