Today I am going to show you how to make your own condensed milk at home using simply milk and sugar. Since a lot of dishes call for condensed milk on can measurements, this dish will make the exact equivalent of a single can of condensed milk. The included bonus offer of making your own condensed milk is that it exercises at approximately half the rate of store-bought condensed milk. To begin, determine out 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 extremely fine-tuned and contains less impurities, leading to less scum or slag that needs to be skimmed from the top of the pot.
Place a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat and gather the milk and sugar. Stir this up until the sugar has actually liquified. You will understand when it is liquified as the bottom of the pot will be smooth. At this phase, eliminate the spatula from the pot and wait up until the milk simply comes to a gentle simmer around the edges. Lower the heat and permit this to simmer gently for 35-40 minutes. The precise timing will depend on what pot you use, your stove, and many other variables. Throughout this stage it is very important not to disturb the milk in any method. Upseting the milk or stirring 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 reduced to half of it's original volume, utilize a spoon dipped in a little water to skim any slag or scum. The procedure is total if the milk coats you spoon and drips off from the spoon like putting cream. Get rid of the pot from the heat and put the condensed milk through a screen to strain out any skin and slag that you may have missed with the spoon. Allow the condensed milk to cool to room temperature level prior to refrigerating and covering. The condensed milk will last for 6 months under refrigeration. As the condensed milk cools it will thicken dramatically to the consistency of store-bought condensed milk. And there we have it, silky-smooth creamy condensed milk made right here in the house.
