1. Combine & Melt
- In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, condensed milk, and butter.
- Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly, until butter melts and sugar dissolves (~5 mins).
2. Boil Without Stirring
- Bring to a gentle boil. Once boiling, stop stirring.
- Let simmer 15–20 minutes, swirling pan occasionally, until mixture reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage).
→ No thermometer? Drop a bit into cold water—it should form a soft, pliable ball.
3. Beat Until Thick & Grainy
- Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla (if using).
- Let cool 5–7 minutes (until ~220°F / just warm to touch).
- Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon or hand mixer for 5–10 minutes, until thick, pale, and slightly grainy (like wet sand).
4. Pour & Set
- Immediately pour into a greased 8×8-inch pan (or lined with parchment).
- Smooth top with a spatula.
- Let cool at room temperature (do not refrigerate—it gets too hard).
- Once cool, score into squares or break into rustic shards.
