SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK

By Vanetta

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup water
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 cup dry milk powder
• 3 tablespoons butter

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a bowl of water in the microwave until it is very hot (or use tap water if you can get it steaming hot).
Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Add the hot water and beat with an electric mixer or wire whisk until smooth.

Note: This should be made as you need it and will not store well. One recipe equals one can of store bought sweetened condensed milk.
Variation: Sugar-free version
1/2 cup cold water
1 1/3 cups powdered milk
3/4 cup Splenda granular
1 teaspoon vanilla

Stir milk powder into cold water until dissolved. Microwave 1 minute or until steaming. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Cover and chill in the refrigerator.
