Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Pour milk and sugar into a medium saucepan and bring to medium heat.
  • Whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Turn heat on low and let the milk simmer for about 30 mins. It should reduce by half. Make sure to stir frequently. Once it has reduced by half, remove the heat.
  • Add in vanilla and butter. Return to medium heat, whisking until it’s all combined. Pour into a container and let it come to room temperature, then move to the fridge or use it right away.
  • If the butter separates while cooling just stir it back together. Make sure to shake or stir well before using.
