Foods made with powdered milk will have fewer calories and less cholesterol than those made form whole milk.  Adding additional milk to the recipe will enhance the nutritive value of the recipe.

In any recipe calling for milk, simply add the dry milk to other dry ingredients.  Sift to blend,  then add water for the milk called for in the recipe.

Recipes call for many types of milk.  All of the following can be made from powdered milk.

Whole Milk

1 cup water
1/3 cup powdered milk

Evaporated Milk

1 cup water
2/3 cup powdered milk

Whipped Evaporated Milk

1 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Thoroughly chill evaporated milk.  Add lemon juice and whip until stiff.  Sweeten and flavor as desired.  (Serve immediately because it doesn't last.)  Makes 3 cups.

Condensed Milk

1/2 cup hot water
1 cup powdered milk
1 cup sugar

Blend thoroughly in blender.  Can be stored in refrigerator or frozen.  (Tastes like powdered milk not condensed milk but O.K. in cooking.)

Drinkable Powdered Milk

To improve the flavor of powdered milk, mix it half and half with whole or 2% milk.  Another suggestion would be to try adding a little sugar or vanilla to enhance the flavor.  Let it chill several hours before drinking.
