- In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.
- Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup milk, ensuring it's fully incorporated before adding more.

- Refrigerate until completely firm (at least 30 minutes).
