Steps:
- Place sugar in a thick-bottomed sauce pan, and heat it on very low heat for a few minutes, until it starts to melt.
- When no visible crystals remain, add sour cream, and mix well.
- Simmer on lowest setting for 20-30 minutes stirring every now and then, or until the caramel becomes thicker and a bit darker.
- Add butter and vanilla, mix to combine well.
- Transfer to a parchment lined mold (I use a bread pan for a single batch, and a square brownie pan for a double batch).
- Cool in refrigerator until it is thick enough to cut. Slice with a pizza cutter or a sharp knife. You can wrap it in pieces of parchment paper, if you wish.
- I store it in an air tight container in refrigerator but you can store it at room temperature too.

RUSSIAN CARAMELS
Practically begged for this recipe from a friend of a friend after tasting it.It is so delicious! Only 3 ingredients and lots of elbow grease, but the results are so worth it. These caramels are divine! This recipe makes a lot, scale it down if you wish, but I think it would be a lot of work to make a smaller amount. Besides I enjoy sharing these around with family and friends.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large heavy based saucepan/pot.
- Add sugar and condensed milk.
- Bring to the boil and stir continuously for about an hour with a wooden spoon, on a medium to low heat (slow boil to a simmer).
- Told you that you need some elbow grease for this recipe.
- It is ready when it changes to a medium to deep brown in colour.
- Pour the mixture into a baking paper lined tin.
- I use a large roasting tin 9"x12" approximately.
- Place in fridge to set.
- Cut into small squares (it is very rich).
- The amount of squares you get depends on the size you cut it into.
- So my yield is an estimate.
- I store my caramels in the frige as I like them firm and chewy, otherwise they will soften (still delicious though).
Tips:
- To ensure the caramels set properly, use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the sugar mixture. The ideal temperature is 320-330 degrees Fahrenheit (160-165 degrees Celsius).
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the "cold water test" to check if the sugar mixture is ready. Drop a small amount of the mixture into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a hard, brittle ball, the mixture is ready.
- For a creamier caramel, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- To make the caramels extra rich, add a tablespoon of butter to the sugar mixture.
- For a flavored caramel, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, almond extract, or another flavoring of your choice to the sugar mixture.
- To prevent the caramels from sticking to the pan, grease the pan with butter or cooking spray before pouring in the sugar mixture.
- Allow the caramels to cool completely before cutting them into pieces. This will help them to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Russian caramels are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these creamy, buttery candies that are sure to please everyone. Whether you enjoy them on their own or use them as an ingredient in other desserts, Russian caramels are a versatile and delicious treat that you'll love.
