Ingredients

• 1l whole cow's milk
• About 300g of sugar
• 1 branch of vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

Preparation

1.- With a very sharp knife, we make a longitudinal cut to a branch of vanilla. Then we open it with half we scrape with the same knife to extract all the seeds that we can. You can directly use vanilla essence but personally, I prefer the branch, to the natural

2.- In a saucepan, put the milk, sugar, the vanilla branch, its nuggets and the sodium bicarbonate. This last ingredient will help to caramelize the sugars in the milk. Remove and heat over low heat

3 .- When it is hot but, that does not come to boil in spurts or would take a very unpleasant burnt aftertaste, we began to count. This dessert tarte THREE horazas in to be done. but it is not necessary to be very aware of him. At least the first 2

4.- As time goes by, milk (strictly speaking, milk water) will evaporate. And the sugars will go caramelizing, becoming more and more brown. We just let it cook, stirring very occasionally

5.- After two and a half hours, we must begin to be more careful. It will have thickened enough and will have to be removed more frequently. You can lower even a little the power of the fire, if you think it boils very strong

6.- After three hours, we will have a texture similar to custard. We simply pour the dulce de leche in a jar or other container, and let it cool completely in the fridge. It will thicken a lot.
