Instructions

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the milk and sugar, stirring gently. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer until the mixture reduces by more than 50% and becomes creamy. Do not stir during this time.
Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract and butter, stirring until everything is well combined and the butter melts completely.
Allow the mixture to cool completely. If any sugar crystals form in the saucepan, carefully remove them with a spoon.
Once cooled, transfer the sweetened condensed milk to a mason jar, cover it, and refrigerate for up to one week.
Use this sweetened condensed milk in your favorite recipes such as banana pudding, oatmeal, or even as a base for homemade ice cream. Enjoy!

Notes

For a variation, you can use a can of evaporated milk instead of whole milk and omit the butter.
If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
