Instructions

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Add sugar, salt and water, then stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then cook without stirring until sugar turns dark gold (it will be lighter gold around outside of pan). Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn.
Whisk in milk and continue to whisk until any sugar that hardens is re-dissolved. Remove pan from heat, then stir in vanilla.
It will be very hot, so let it cool at least a little. Serve warm or cool.

Notes

Note: Go with 3 Tablespoons of milk for a slightly thicker caramel sauce or 4 for one that will run freely off a spoon (as in pictures)For a non-dairy/vegan version I tried this with coconut oil instead of butter and coconut milk (the runny part from the can) instead of dairy milk. It was just a little harder to mix in the “milk” (stir longer on the heat) and the sugar went from white to brown faster. But still nom!
