Great easy recipe for vanilla sauce. If you want the thicker sauce follow other remarks about adding 2 T of cornstarch to 1 c of water.

I substitute milk for the water. Makes it richer.

I followed the mods that most people mentioned, increasing to 2 T cornstarch and decreasing to 1 C water. We liked it, but I did find it a bit sweet. I will make it again, but may try it with more water to cut the sweetness. I might also try switching the vanilla extract with rum flavoring. It reminded me of butter rum sauce.

If you substituted margarine for butter and advertised it as lactose-free, it might be acceptable, but I had this alongside a vanilla sauce made with milk and I was truly humiliated by the poor taste and texture of this sauce. I will certainly never make this again.

Simple and good on bread pudding. I followed the advice of others and increased corn starch to 2 T and decreased water to 1 cup. Also, I am diabetic so I used spenda instead of sugar and no one could tell the difference. (I make this substitution alot)

I reduced the water to 1 cup, as others suggested. I used this over bread pudding recipe from this site. YUMMY!

Why are people giving this 4 stars and then saying the quantities are all wrong and you should use powdered sugar? That's like giving a 4 star review to your cruise on the titanic. "Everything was just lovely, marred oh so slightly by that incident with the iceberg". This recipe is just plain wrong and if you make it you'll end up with a pan of water. If you change it as others suggest, it will be better, but still didn't have enough flavor or richness. Abandon ship and look elsewhere for your vanilla sauce advice.
