Making Sweetened Condensed Milk from Powdered Milk

I bought Crystal Godfreys book I Can't Believe it's Food Storage and I love all her ideas and how she makes using your storage look so easy. She is also the person behind the site http://www.everydayfoodstorage.net/. You should check out her site and her book! Both are excellent! I made this sweetened condensed milk for about 75 cents (which is found in her book) and I know a can from the store is alot more than that!

So I share the recipe hoping to inspire all to use or rotate your storage!

Sweetened Condensed Milk

(from I Can't Believe its Food Storage book)

• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1 cup non-instant dry powdered milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp butter

Combine ingredients and mix thoroughly in blender. Use immediately or store in refrigerator or freezer.

Magic Fudge Sauce

I found this recipe on the everyday food storage site! She is so great to give how to use your food storage in cooking too! This was really good and the kids loved it and it was fast! The other fun part is this is like that magic shell stuff that hardens on your ice cream!

Magic Fudge Sauce

(http://www.everydayfoodstorage.net/)

• 1 cup (6 ounces) Semisweet Chocolate Chips
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 3 tbsp evaporated milk (1 tbsp dry powdered milk + 3 tbsp water)
• Vanilla Ice-cream
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds

In a heavey saucepan, combine chocolate chips, butter and milk. Cook and stir over low heat until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Serve warm over ice cream (sauce will harden). Sprinkle with almonds. Refrigerate any leftovers. Sauce can be reheated in the microwave.

Yield about 1 cup.

Blender Wheat Pancakes

I found this on http://www.everydayfoodstorage.net/ and they really turned out great! I didn't even tell my kids they were wheat, they ate them up! She has a berry syrup recipe with this that I haven't tried yet, but it sounded really good!

Blender Wheat Pancakes

1 cup milk (3 tbsp powdered milk and 1 cup water)

1 cup wheat kernels, whole & uncooked

2 eggs (2tbsp powdered eggs, 1/4 cup water)

2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp oil

2 tbsp honey or sugar

Put milk and wheat kernels in blender. Blend on highest speed for 4-5 minutes or until batter is smooth. (I probably blended for 6 minutes or so, just to guarantee it was smooth) Add eggs, oil, baking powder, salt, and honey or sugar to above batter. Blend on low. Pour out batter into pancakes from the blender, only one bowl to mess!!

Cook and enjoy!

Berry Syrup

2 cup mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, marionberries or whatever mixture you want)

3 tbsp sugar

Mix together and let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving!
