[lulumama]

[CatIsSleepy]

4 pounds of sugar???

[SpawnHorcrux]

Thank you for that Jaynehater and MrsBadger

Only the Scots could come up with a recipe that contains nothing but condensed milk, butter and 4lbs (4lbs??!!) of sugar. [proud]

Coming next week -


Why lard is a main course all in itself.

At least you made use of the other half first! When I was pregnant, I decided to make a banoffi pie. It called for around three quarters of a tin, so I decided to eat the quarter first and then use what was left. BIG mistake. I couldn't stop eating and scoffed the whole bloody tin. All 1500 calories I didn't dare go out to the shop to buy another tin as I know damned fine that I would have scoffed a second tin as well....

Why does condensed milk not explode when you boil it in the tin?

[pania]

oops

[Kathyis6incheshigh]

I would like to know that too, Pania.
It says on the tin that it might, though, so I am nervous when I make toffee that way.

[LowFatPumpkinJuice]

Sometimes it does explode - you just have to be careful and pray to whom ever you pray that your kitchen does not become a sticky mess.

(My mum once opened a can of treacle sponge wrong end first - condensed milk is much worse)

FWIW I prefer Evaporated milk in strawberry jelly

yum!

[Kathyis6incheshigh]

There was a dent in the ceiling of one of the student kitchens at my college where a hapless overseas student had boiled a tin of something and it exploded.
There was a notice by every cooker about it.

[jaynehater]

Keep topping the water up - and don't open it right away, either, as sometimes it can do a Vesuvius number on you.

[dazedandconfunded]

Evaporated milk on suet pudding ... yum

[unknownrebelbang]

Oh Lordy, condensed milk.

Daren't even buy it in.

Another bad habit inherited from my father.

lol

[Leati]

Yick! are you guys serious...Condensed Milk...gross

[MyTwopenceworth]

condensed milk is the dog's doodahs on top of a bowl of cornflakes.

[Leati]

I would never dream...it is so thick and gross...no offense...but I think this is another one of those cultural differences.

[rosealbie]

Haven't had time to read the whole post but when I lived at home my mum used to but condensed milk for the cats and I found out that if you put it on ice cream it turns solid like that 'ice magic' stuff - not sure if that's useful or not to you

[MyTwopenceworth]

oh, to clarify, that's not instead of the milk!! A drizzle on top.

[Beauregard]

Never tried it but it sounds quite nice .

[Leati]

MyTwopenceworth,

That sounds a little better, than what I though you were saying.

[FrannyandZooey]

What are you, Winnie the Pooh? Who gets cravings for condensed milk?

[MyTwopenceworth]

Yes, I figured you thought I meant chug half a can on instead of the milk!

Nooo. semi skimmed milk and a drizzle of the other on top. It is delish.

[moondog]

God,I bloody love condensed milk.
I never eat crap but this is one instance when I lose all reason.
