Ingredients

• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.

Step 2

Gradually stir in the water, whisking continuously to dissolve the sugars and cornstarch and create a smooth mixture.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it begins to bubble and thicken. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Once the sauce has thickened, reduce the heat to low and whisk in the unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.

Step 6

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools. If needed, you can adjust the consistency by adding a small amount of water and reheating gently.

Step 7

Serve warm over your favorite desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat before using.
