Ingredients
• 1 can (397g) sweetened condensed milk
• ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
Method
1. Grease or line a small square pan or tray with parchment paper.
2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the condensed milk, sugar, butter, and salt.
3. Cook over low to medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
4. Continue cooking for 15–20 minutes, until the mixture thickens, becomes glossy, and starts pulling away from the sides of the pan. It should turn a light golden caramel color.
5. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
7. Allow it to cool at room temperature until firm.
8. Cut into small squares or rectangles and wrap individually in wax paper if desired.
