Today I am going to reveal you how to make your own condensed milk at home using simply milk and sugar. Because a lot of recipes call for condensed milk on can measurements, this recipe will make the specific equivalent of a single can of condensed milk. The added benefit of making your own condensed milk is that it works out at roughly half the price of store-bought condensed milk. To begin, distribute 2 and one quarter cups of full cream milk, and 2 thirds of a cup of sugar plus one tablespoon. You can utilize any white sugar, however I prefer to use caster sugar as it is highly refined and consists of less pollutants, leading to less scum or slag that needs to be skimmed from the top of the pot.
Location a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat and pour in the milk and sugar. Stir this until the sugar has actually dissolved. When it is dissolved as the bottom of the pot will be smooth, you will understand. At this stage, get rid of the spatula from the pot and wait until the milk simply concerns a gentle simmer around the edges. Lower the heat and permit this to simmer carefully for 35-40 minutes. The specific timing will depend upon what pot you use, your stove, and lots of other variables. Throughout this stage it is necessary not to disturb the milk in any way. Stirring or agitating the milk will knock sugar crystals that form on the edges of the pot back into the mixture, and this will lead to a rough condensed milk. When the milk has actually decreased to half of it's initial volume, use a spoon dipped in a little water to skim any slag or residue. If the milk coats you spoon and drips off from the spoon like pouring cream, the procedure is total. Remove the pot from the heat and put the condensed milk through a sieve to strain out any skin and slag that you might have missed out on with the spoon. Allow the condensed milk to cool to space temperature level prior to covering and cooling. The condensed milk will last for 6 months under refrigeration. As the condensed milk cools it will thicken considerably to the consistency of store-bought condensed milk. And there we have it, silky-smooth velvety condensed milk made right here in the house.
In our previous episode I spoke about phony condensed milk that is flooding the markets around the world-- if you missed it, the link is in the description listed below. Today I am going to show you how to make your own condensed milk at home using simply milk and sugar. Since most dishes call for condensed milk on can measurements, this dish will make the precise equivalent of a single can of condensed milk.
