Is burnt milk that sticks to a pan something used in cooking ever? Does it have a name?

This might be a weird question but I have to ask it anyway. I make my dad boiled milk and I find the burnt milk that sticks to bottom of the pan has got a really great taste. Does it have a name and what sort of recipes would it be used in?
