I used this recipe for the topping of an 8x8 pan of bread pudding. I used only 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of corstarch to amke it thicker. In the end it came out great!

Good start, but needs work. Definitely reduce the water to 1 cup and add another tablespoon cornstarch. Very good with these changes!

I also got a very watery syrup that would not thicken up, but I think the problem is that the submitter put in her recipe to use white sugar meaning confectioner sugar not regular granulated sugar, though when a normal recipe calls for white sugar it is usually means regular sugar so thats what I used. I figured I would try it again with the powdered sugar and see if that comes out better.

i was looking for a quick and easy vanilla sauce to go with a jewish apple cake i made, and this was quick, easy, and delicious! its a little more carmel than vanilla, but carmel and apple go well together. i did reduce the water to 1 cup and increase the cornstarch to 2 tablespoons and it turned out perfectly. this would also be fabulous with bread pudding.

Sorry, no stars. I used all the good advice of the other reviewers, reduced water to 1 can, used 2 tablespoons starch and powdered sugar. I have a guest with a lactose allergy, that's why I was looking for a recipe without milk or cream. The product was alright in consistency but it tasted terrible. Like mashed card board with vanilla flavour. Hugh! I hate throwing food out but I couldn’t think of any thing to do it with. So I fed it to the cats - there are 20 barn cats, they eat everything ;-) Sorry, it might be a useful sauce for something, but I wouldn't dare calling it "Vanilla sauce".

Very good. I followed the recipe as is and used it over bread pudding. It was nice because it warmed and softened the bread a bit. Next time will follow the suggestions to decrease water and increase cornstarch.

I made the changes suggested by other reviewers: used half the water, twice the cornstarch, confectioner's sugar. I also added half a cup of evaporated milk when I added the butter and vanilla. Not only very good on the bread pudding I made it for, but good cold the next day with store-bought molasses cookies.

I took the other reviewer's suggestions and cut the water to 1 Cup and bumped up the cornstarch to 2 Tablespoons. I thought this was very good. I used it over a dense, moist cinnamon cake (much like bread pudding) with vanilla ice cream and it was amazing!! I can't think what else I would use it on, but it was exactly what I needed at the time!
