I made this hoping to use it on my pancakes this morning, but I burned the caramel. It burns VERY easily and it continues to darken in color even after you remove it from the heat. Next time I will take it off the heat when it is barely golden. Burned caramel doesn't taste good and as soon as you burn it, there is no way to fix it.
