Add sugar and salt a little at a time whisking constantly (be sure the sugar dissolves before adding more). Keep over medium heat, stirring about every 30 seconds until the mixture begins to thicken (it should coat the back of your spoon). DO NOT BOIL.

Remove from heat. Add vanilla extract and butter. Stir until butter is dissolved. Set aside.
