Use your homemade evaporated milk in place of the evaporated milk called for in any recipe. You won't notice any change in your recipe because this makes the real deal. Yield: 12 ounces (1-1/2 cups). That's the equivalent of one can of evaporated milk. If your recipe calls for less than a can, here are some great ways to use up the rest of your substitute. Of course, it's also quite easy to halve or double this recipe, so you only end up with what you need.
Evaporated milk is milk that has been cooked down to allow some of the water content to evaporate. The concentrate is canned, and the result is a heavier tasting milk with a slightly toasted or caramelized flavor. If you don't have any, make your own: To produce 1 cup of evaporated milk, simmer 2 1/4 cups of regular milk down until it becomes 1 cup. In many recipes, evaporated milk may also be replaced with a combination of whole milk and half-and-half. For 1 cup of evaporated milk, use 3/4 cup whole milk and 1/4 cup half-and-half.
