Your video & printed recipe don’t quite match each other with water amounts, milk & time. Can you please tell me which is the correct version?
BTW, I love your videos & recipes. Thanks for sharing.
You list “milk” in the recipe, but nowhere in the directions, only sweetened condensed. Where does the milk come in?
