Not bad at all! The only suggestion I'd like to offer after having tried this out and tasting it, is to cut down by a tbsp. on the butter. With 2 tbsps., the milk becomes very buttery in taste and it was a bit too much for my taste buds to handle. Otherwise, this is a great and handy cooking tip! Thank you very much for sharing it.

Elaine...this was a great sub for the store-bought kind, I used just 2 tsp butter, instead of 2 Tbsp, for this recipe, and it worked well for me I will definately be using this again.... great alternative for the canned product...thank you for posting...KC

I have made this countless times, most recently for Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese by Kimke. As recommended by KITTENCAL I use 2 tsp. butter, not 2 Tbsp. Thank you again!

Don't know how this compares taste-wise to the real stuff (for coffee and such), but it sure works as a subsistute in baked goods! After reading reviews, I reduced the butter to 2 tsp and since I only needed 5 oz, I made only 1/2 recipe, with no ill-effect.(Whole recipe yeilds approx 14 oz). I just used it to make Vanilla Walnut Fudge #42742 and it worked like a charm! Will definitely use again! (PS - The fudge is awesome too!!!)

This works wonderfully for my recipes and I always have it on hand and make it fresh not to mention its cheaper than buying it by the can. I do agree that its a bit buttery but I use just 1 Tbsp of butter and it comes out perfectly. Thanks for posting!

I found this recipe just in the nick of time! I wanted to make Linda's Cinnamon Syrup and found that I was out of evaporated milk. Now that I've found this recipe, I'll never be out of the canned stuff because I won't have to buy it anymore! Thank you for posting this recipe!

I made this for use in a pumpkin pie and it worked out pretty good. Thanks!

I reduced to 3-4 oz serving to use in a recipe. It was perfect! I hate opening a big can of evaporated milk and only using a 1/2 cup. Thank you for posting this useful recipe.

What an excellent substitution! I was making fudge last night and realized that my evaporated milk had gone bad! I had already melted my butter and measured my other ingredients out and was so dissapointed. I didn't want to run all the way to the store just for evaporated milk so I came on to Zaar and ElaineM saved the day! This is a perfect PERFECT sub for canned evaporated milk when makng fudge. My fudge came out creamy and perfect. I'm going to make it this way ALL THE TIME now! No more canned milk for us.Thank you!

Thank you so much! I needed 1/3 c evaporated milk for a frosting recipe, but the cupboard was bare! I made this recipe, scaled down to 3 oz., and it was perfect! Another church picnic saved!!!
