2. Combine Sugar and Cornstarch: While the water is heating up, take a separate bowl and combine 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Ensure they are thoroughly mixed to avoid lumps in your sauce.

3. Incorporate Sugar Mixture: Once the water reaches a rolling boil, carefully add the sugar-cornstarch mixture into the saucepan. Stir continuously to prevent clumps from forming and to evenly distribute the ingredients.

4. Thicken Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and continue stirring the mixture constantly. Allow it to simmer until it thickens to your desired consistency, which typically takes about 5-7 minutes. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon nicely when it’s ready.

5. Remove from Heat: Once the sauce has reached the desired thickness, remove the saucepan from the heat source. This ensures that the sauce doesn’t overcook and maintains its creamy texture.

6. Add Flavor Enhancements: To enhance the flavor profile of your vanilla sauce, add 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until the butter is completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.

7. Serve or Store: Your delectable Vanilla Sauce is now ready to be enjoyed! Drizzle it warm over your favorite desserts, such as Bread Pudding, ice cream, or fruit. Alternatively, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Simply reheat gently before serving to enjoy its velvety texture once again.
