Condensed milk at home - the principles of preparation
The most important rule for the successful preparation of any condensed milk recipe at home is strict adherence to the technology of the whole process. Any deviation in the quantity, cooking time, necessary constituent products, and not their substitutes, can lead to an unsatisfactory result.

• Milk - Use homemade milk or with a high fat content, i.e. 3.2%. It must be fresh! It is also recommended to use whole milk, from which water was not removed and fat content was not reduced. You will get very liquid condensed milk if the milk had a high water content.
• Whole milk powder (do not use substitute) is a powdered food product, which is obtained in the process of drying milk. On its basis, milk mixtures are prepared.
• Sugar. Instead of sugar, some recipes can use powdered sugar.

The process of making condensed milk at home in 15 minutes is boiling milk with sugar while evaporating excess liquid. In production, special vacuum evaporation plants are used for this.

At home, according to recipes, condensed milk is prepared in an open way, by boiling and evaporating water with constant stirring. Therefore, if the product is liquid, then there is still a lot of water in it.

Also, a successful result depends on the quality of the products, the thickness of the pan, the intensity of the fire. Consider all these factors when cooking.
