Sweetened Condensed Milk

I tore this recipe out of the newspaper 30 years ago.  I never have sweetened condensed milk on hand, but I do have all the ingredients and it's easy to make.

1 c sugar
1/2 c minus 2 T water
1/2 stick butter
1 1/3 c dry milk (the kind in the box - I keep this on hand for cooking)

In 2 cup glass measure, combine sugar, water and butter.  MW on High for 1 1/2 minutes until mixture boils, stirring every 30 seconds.  Combine in blender (or stir vigorously) with dry milk until smooth.  Makes 1 1/2 cups or same amount as one 15 oz. can.

For an easy hot fudge topping, stir six ounces
of chocolate chips into the heated ingredients.
