Is sweet milk condensed milk? Recipe already has half cups each of regular and brown sugar.

Hi Cloudyszoo!

Following up on Rufty's answers below. In the early 20th century (especially during the Great Depression) it was pretty rare that families consistently had fresh milk on hand. So for baking, sour milk (buttermilk) and other canned products were actually basically the default.

So! They would specify when calling for whole milk as sweet milk.

Hope this helps!

No, sweet milk is whole milk, distinguished from sour milk. And old term no longer popular but it was when I was young.
