In a medium-sized saucepan or pot combine the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Whisk together until most clumps are gone.
Stir in the milk and turn the heat over medium.
Whisk the mixture as it heats. It will begin to look like hot chocolate.
Continue to whisk over medium heat and bring it to a boil, and allow the sauce to thicken.

Remove from the heat, stir in the butter and vanilla extract, mixing until the butter is melted.
