Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch until well combined. This ensures there are no lumps in the sauce later.
Step 2
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to blend the dry ingredients with the liquid. Whisk until smooth.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking or scorching. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Step 5
Let the sauce cool slightly. As it cools, it will continue to thicken slightly. If needed, strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure it’s perfectly smooth.
Step 6
Serve warm over waffles, puddings, or other desserts. You can also cool it completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
