whole goat s milk (cow s milk will also work and is traditional in some countries, like cuba), fine granulated white sugar, vanilla bean , split in two or 1 tsp vanilla extract, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) -- this is needed for a complete browning-- it lowers the ph and prevents milk proteins from coagulating (bunching up). the browning is not caramelization -- it is a maillard reaction which requires the addition of a base. if you do not add the sauce will still thicken and taste wonderful, but the full potential of the sauce will be lost.
