Method
- Pour carabao milk into a wide heavy pan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Add sugar and salt and stir until dissolved, then lower the heat to prevent scorching.
- Cook slowly, scraping the bottom and corners constantly as the milk reduces and changes from fluid to thick custard.
- Add butter and vanilla when the mixture begins pulling from the pan and continue cooking until a cooled dab can be rolled.
- Spread on a lightly buttered tray and cool until warm enough to handle but not fully hard.
- Roll into small logs or balls, dust lightly if desired, and wrap individually in wax paper.
- Store refrigerated for the longest freshness and bring to room temperature before serving.
