Combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1 cup water in a 2- to 3-quart pan. Set over medium heat and stir just until sugar is dissolved, 4 to 5 minutes. Increase heat to high and boil without stirring until syrup is amber-colored (330 to 335 on a candy thermometer; see notes), 12 to 20 minutes. When sugar begins to brown around edges of pan, swirl mixture in pan gently to ensure that syrup caramelizes evenly.
