Step-by-step

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over the stovetop.
• Place evaporated milk in a large microwaveable dish/glass measure cup. Microwave for 60 seconds or until boiling.
• Add sugar to the evaporated milk immediately after removing from the microwave. (It will puff up when you first add the sugar to the milk, so that's why you want a big container to stir it in.)
• Whisk sugar and milk for a minute until sugar is mostly dissolved. Add to melted butter on the stove and whisk continuously over medium-high heat. Continue whisking until the syrup boils and thickens up (happens when it reaches a boil.) Don't cook too long or it will caramelize the sugars and it won't be that blonde butter syrup you want.
• Refrigerate any leftovers up to 7-10 days. Reheat in the microwave 1 minute to melt any sugar crystals that may develop.
