On the NZ front finding flour is somewhat of an issue. Twice we went shopping and that shelf was empty. The son bought 20kg online and they delivered yesterday...turns out its pastry flour. I'm busy baking a chocolate cake right now so will see how that turns out. Boiled two tins of Filipino condensed milk (makes super caramel) so that flour better perform.
Isn't this dulce de leche?

@Fredman1 so can I have the recipe please? We normally make our caramel with cream whisked into a water and butter caramel base. This condensed milk method sounds yummy :)
Try this one too. Much quicker, but it requires tending to the whole time. But, it only takes a few minutes.

Nice! What color did you get? Looks like a cloudy day for you.
Bluuuue :)
I’m still leaning towards the Axial. Orrrr.... Maybe a tank, not feeling like toting a juice bottle around the house today. Right now I’m just admiring it while the battery charges.

That's the same color I have. It's a great little mod.

Hey buddy. Sorry to hear you're not there yet. You're in my thoughts quite often. I admire your positive spirit through all you're going though mate. You're an inspiration ;)
Ah you cover the can (I do 3 or 4 together) of condensed milk with water...bring it to the boil and simmer for up to 3 hrs. Very important to keep the can covered with water all the time. It can overheat and rupture if not covered.
The time depends on how dark you like your caramel. The milk also has an influence. Minimum time I would say is 2hrs. You'll have to do some trials to see how you like it at what time...;)
I go dark...3 hrs.
I mix some lemon juice with it to cut through the intense sweetness when I use it for the chocolate cake. I love that balance of sweet and tartness.
Most important is let it cool down completely before opening...for obvious reasons :w00t:
Thank you Fred....sounds simple and amazing I'm going to start at 2.5 hours and see how that is. We like it quite dark too...lots of flavour.

Thanks again. It can hardly go wrong really...condensed milk is so heavenly to start with :)

It's my own fault. I have a bit of pain trying to sleep. Took over the counter sleep/sleep pain meds then my pain pill too close together. Just wrecked my gut. All good now.
Glad you're feeling better. I know all about stomach pain in some ways it's the worst kind of pain...one you can't put aside :)

Stay safe mate.
