Dulce De Leche
"This the authentic recipe from my Argentinan friend - its not boiled evaporated milk - which is not truly Dulce De Leche. Can be used as a biscuit filling, butterfly cakes, cheesecakes, or stired through icecream"

- 800 g caster sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1⁄4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
directions
- Combine all ingredients in a large heavybase saucepan & stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
- Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 1.5 hours stiring every 15 minutes. Skim off any foam that is on the surface
- The mix should have thickened and changed colour.

<br>Having come from a house full of cooks (both parents ran a catering company) I have been around food all my life.
<br>
<br>I really love food.. both sweet and savoury but I primarily cook desserts. I cook everything from scratch and sell my cupcakes under my catering company Mortar & Pestle.
