Add the milk and sugar to a a heavy-bottom pot, then place it on a stove, and bring it to a boil don’t cook it too fast or it will scorch so adjust the heat. Once the milk starts to rise, drop in the butter and add the vanilla, then stir them continuously until combined and dissolved, and turn the heat down just a bit to prevent it from cooking too fast. Keep stirring and cook for a total of 45 minutes to 1 hour or until thickened, and make sure to stir consistently so it doesn’t burn at the bottom.
