Dulce de Leche

The method

1. 01

   In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, mix the milk, sugar, and baking powder.

2. 02

   Cook over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

3. 03

   Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture becomes thick and caramel-colored, about 1-2 hours.

4. 04

   Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. 05

   Let the dulce de leche cool, then transfer to a jar. It will thicken further as it cools.
