Tywalltwch y llefrith a'r siwgwr i sosban gan ei ferwi nes yn frown a thew (dyliai hyn gymeryd rhyw ddwy awr). Nid oes rhaid troi'r cymysgfa yn ddibaid ond dylid ei droi'n weddol aml gan ofalu ei droi i'r un cyfeiriad bob tro gyda llwy gynnes (wrth gwrs y ffordd hawddaf i wneud hyn yw trwy ferwi tun o laedd cyddwys).

English Translation


This very unusual, but traditional spread is made from boiled and reduced milk (or more typically a tin of condensed milk).

Ingredients:

2l milk
1kg sugar

Method:

Add the milk and the sugar to a saucepan and boil until thick and brown (this usually takes about two hours). It's not necessary to stir the mixture constantly, but it does need to be stirred fairly frequently. When stirring make sure to do so in the same direction each time using a warmed spoon. (Of course, the easiest way to make this is to boil a tin of condensed milk).
