Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 0.6667 cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whole milk and granulated sugar over medium heat.
Stir the mixture gently until the sugar dissolves completely, being careful not to let it scorch.
Once the sugar is fully dissolved, lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
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.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until both are fully incorporated.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature before transferring it to a clean, airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and use as needed in your favorite recipes.
