Dulce de Leche

Ingredients

• Sugar 300 g
• Milk 1 litre
• Baking powder 0.25 tsp
• Vanilla extract 1 tsp

Method

1. Combine Ingredients: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, mix the milk, sugar, and baking soda.
2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
3. Thicken: Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture becomes thick and caramel-colored, about 1-2 hours.
4. Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Cool: Let the dulce de leche cool, then transfer to a jar.
6. It will thicken further as it cools.
7. Pro Tips: Stir continuously and keep the heat low to prevent the milk from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan.
8. A drop of vanilla extract added at the end of cooking enhances the flavor.
