The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

An easy homemade copycat version of Borden's brand of sweetened condensed milk.

1 cup nonfat dry milk
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup boiling water
3 tablespoons softened butter
Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Process until completely smooth. Pour into a covered container and place in the refrigerator until well chilled and slightly thickened.
Use anywhere sweetened condensed milk is called for. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 1 week. Mix well before using.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I made this one, and I can safely say I am never going to pay for another can of sweetened condensed milk again.
I forgot to say something very impt. -- that I made this sugar free (Walmart Altern brand sugar) and fat free powdered milk (also Walmart Great Value). It's so delicious. Now I can make the desserts calling for condensed milk. Also, my kids just ate this up straight.

Have not used it in recipe yet but my kids ate the whole thing --this is so delicious. I used a 1 1/2 qt. nonstick saucepan to cook this.
Very easy recipe, but it made only a little over one cup!

I use this recipe all the time and it's identical to the orignal product!
