• Ingredient prep: Cut butter into uniform pieces; this helps it melt evenly without splattering.
• Temperature control: Use an instant‑read thermometer; target caramel at 340°F for optimal flavor.
• Texture enhancement: Stir the custard with a silicone spatula to prevent air bubbles that cause cracks.
