Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

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.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Tasty, but the batter was a bit too thick for me.

The recipe is fine...your basic batter. But, I would highly recommend two things. One. make sure you pat dry the scallops. You need to do this for two reasons. There is a lot of moisture in scallops which will make it difficult to get a good sear and also will keep the batter from adhering to the scallops. Secondly, I would recommend not ruining your deep fried scallops by dipping them in tartar sauce. Try using a good quality malt vinegar drizzled on them, Bon Apetite

It doesn't say what kind of scallops to use but I had to assume that it meant sea scallops and not bay scallops. I thought it was a very good recipe. I think I'll try the batter with shrimp too.

Dry the scallops well before dipping in the batter. Or you can also lightly dust them with cornstarch first and it will stick better. These are really good. Also don't overcook them or they will be tough. Just until they get brown. I like using a deep fryer because they will brown on all sides quicker and less chance of getting overcooked.
I was not impressed with this recipe... not because the batter wasn't good (because it definitely was), but because it didn't stick to the scallops. I don't know what I did wrong but it just didn't work out with me. Thank you for the recipe, though.

The batter is really nice on these. I actually use the batter recipe for all kinds of seafood to fry it, and it's a nice alternative to the typical beer batter.
