Sweetened Condensed Milk

I'm always looking to use the food in my fridge or pantry before it reaches its expiry date but with life being busy you don't always remember.

If you've ever got milk left over and don't know what to do with it ... and the use by date is fast approaching.

Here is one that I have used and will continue to use.

Sweetened Condensed Milk (powdered milk)
Makes approx. one 395g tin
Ingredients
125g water
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 and 1/2 cups  milk
Pinch of salt...

or if no milk ...

125g caster water
225g sugar
110g powdered milk
Pinch of salt...

Instructions
Add all ingredients to bowl then cook @ 100 degrees / 3mins / 30secs / speed 3.
Mixture will be runny but will thicken on standing.
Remove the condensed milk to a container for storage.
Can be used straight away in any recipe asking for condensed milk.
You can use full cream, skim or a mixture of both powdered milk.
You can use white or raw sugar (raw will give it a darker colour).
The salt adds to the sweetness.
