Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 0.6667 cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whole milk and granulated sugar over medium heat.
Step 2
Stir the mixture gently until the sugar dissolves completely, being careful not to let it scorch.
Step 3
Once the sugar is fully dissolved, lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Simmer the mixture for 25-30 minutes, or until it has reduced by half and thickened. You’ll know it’s ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until both are fully incorporated.
Step 6
Let the mixture cool to room temperature before transferring it to a clean, airtight container.
Step 7
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and use as needed in your favorite recipes.
