Ingredients:
2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon baking soda (optional, to prevent curdling)
Instructions:
Combine Ingredients:
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and sugar.
Add the butter to the mixture.
Cook the Mixture:
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Thicken the Milk:
Cook the mixture for about 30–40 minutes, or until it reduces by half and thickens to a creamy consistency. Be patient and avoid boiling, as it can curdle the milk.
Add Baking Soda (Optional):
Stir in the baking soda during the last few minutes of cooking to keep the mixture smooth.
Cool and Store:
Remove the pan from heat and let the sweetened condensed milk cool completely.
Pour into clean, sterilized jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy
