Introduction[edit]
This is a recipe that I discovered while visiting with a friend of mine from Mexico. He was complaining that he could never find any of this wonderous substance in Regina, Saskatchewan. So I gave it a shot and came up with this.
Ingredients[edit]
- 1 Litre of Milk.(I apologize, I don't know the Imperial Conversion)
- 1 1/2 Cups of Sugar
- 1 Vanilla Bean (or 3 tbsp Vanilla Extract)
- 1/2 tsp of Baking Soda
Method[edit]
- Use a pot that seems overly large for this operation, as the baking soda will foam and rise to shocking heights.
- Pour the Milk and Sugar in the pot and set to a low heat.
- When the sugar has completly dissolved in the milk add the Vanilla and the Baking Soda
- Tend to until the milk has reduced to a thick caramel like texture. (About 1 cup of it will remain. Be prepared, this will take some time)
Serving[edit]
This fantastic dessert can go with almost any pastry, cake, or spoon. Enjoy!
Alternative Method[edit]
Here is an alternative method that I learned from someone from Argentina. I don't doubt that making it from scratch would be much tastier, but this will always do in a pinch.
Ingredients[edit]
- 1 can Sweetened & Condensed Milk
Method[edit]
- Remove label from can
- Using a pot on the stove place the can(s) into the pot, fill the pot with enough water so there is about 3-4 inches of water covering the top of the can(s)
- Heat water to boiling and heat for 3 hours.
Check on the pot every 30 minutes or so to make sure there is still water covering the top of the can(s)
Use a lid if you have one to reduce water loss, and also mitigate damage to kitchen should there a catastrophic blowout (which there shouldn't be if you followed directions.
