The gwelladou, it's a thing from my neck of the woods, you know, a salted butter caramel with a spreadable texture, to slather on your morning toasts (or on your crepes too, because hey, we shouldn't put limits on ourselves in life). In fact, I also sometimes put it in my lattes...

Basically, it's sugar, butter, and cream, so it's easy to veganize. I've tried it with coconut oil because I love coconut caramel, so personally, that was my favorite version. You can also make it with margarine, but it will be a little less firm, or with deodorized coconut oil.

Steps

Pour the sugar into a pan and spread it evenly across the bottom to form a thin layer. Let the sugar melt over high heat, without using any utensils or water, to create a dry caramel. You can tilt the pan from time to time to ensure even cooking.
At the same time, gently heat the cream over low heat in a small saucepan.
Once all the sugar has turned into caramel, turn off the heat and pour in the warm cream. Add the coconut oil.
Mix well and rekindle the heat if necessary to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and melted together.
Pour into a jar and let cool for a few minutes. Add some fleur de sel according to your taste (be careful not to burn yourself when tasting, the caramel can stay hot for a long time).
You can store the gwelladou in the fridge for about ten days.
