Can you buy condensed milk over here in the supermarkets, if so what is it called?

Cheers..

Yes you can. In tubes or tins. It's called Lait concentré. It's normally with the powdered milk.

What type of pudney you making then, M??????

Just as an aside, most of the items you can buy in England you can get over here. There are a few that I've not found yet, but for the most part, you will just need to ask the question to know what to look out for.

Good to know I bring it over with me as didn't think you could buy it.
While we are on it can you get evaporated milk like Carnation type?

I am doing a lemon cheesecake, haven't made one in years,I use a recipe form a old Hamlyn cook book, got my digestives, well I think they are, they look similar. Will let you know how it goes....getting into the retirement lark, having time to bake again..

Delia has a recipe for a lemon ricotta cheesecake which is absolutely delumpshus but takes bloody ages to make.

However, it tastes almost identical to a recipe I learned many years ago!

Normal biscuit base. 1 tin condensed milk, 1 tin sterilised milk, zest and juice of as many lemons as you want.

And that's it!

Needless to say, the Delia recipe has only been used the once!!! lol

....I tried to keep my talent quite

but wish I was a penny behind her..

I started with a Be-Ro (Bells Royal) book and loved it, then Mrs Beeton, then I purchased a Delia book and never looked back, she introduced me to cooking, and now have so many cook books I have lost count.
