In our previous episode I discussed phony condensed milk that is flooding the markets around the world-- if you missed it, the link remains in the description listed below. Today I am going to show you how to make your own condensed milk in the house utilizing just milk and sugar. Given that most dishes call for condensed milk on can measurements, this recipe will make the exact equivalent of a single can of condensed milk. If you need 2 cans, just double up the dish and change the timings appropriately. The added reward of making your own condensed milk is that it exercises at roughly half the price of store-bought condensed milk. To start, ration 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 choose to utilize caster sugar as it is highly fine-tuned and consists of less pollutants, leading to less residue or slag that has actually to be skimmed from the top of the pot.
Place a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat and put in the milk and sugar. Stir this till the sugar has actually liquified. When it is liquified as the bottom of the pot will be smooth, you will know. At this phase, get rid of the spatula from the pot and wait until the milk just pertains to a gentle simmer around the edges. Minimize the heat and permit this to simmer carefully for 35-40 minutes. The specific timing will depend upon what pot you utilize, your stove, and numerous other variables. During this stage it is necessary not to disrupt the milk in any way. 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 grainy condensed milk. When the milk has decreased to half of it's original volume, utilize a spoon dipped in a little water to skim any slag or scum. If the milk coats you spoon and drips off from the spoon like putting cream, the procedure is total. 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 might have missed with the spoon. Allow the condensed milk to cool to room temperature before covering and refrigerating. The condensed milk will last for 6 months under refrigeration. As the condensed milk cools it will thicken significantly to the consistency of store-bought condensed milk. And there we have it, silky-smooth velvety condensed milk made right here at home.
