The Skinny on Powdered Milk-Food Storage Recipes

Posted by Crystal-Everyday Food Storage on Sunday, August 30, 2009 · Comments

Yeah! Back to School Week has started! Each day I’ll be covering basic cooking information about basic long term food storage items. You’ll want to pay attention because there may be a quiz with prizes at the end of the week. **HINT HINT…WINK WINK** I decided to start with Powdered Milk because I feel this is the least understood food storage item and definitely, I think, the least liked food storage item. Watch the videos below along with the points of interest. Hopefully this will open your eyes on the subject and give you some great ideas so you can start using you food storage today!

Powdered Milk Basics

How do I cook with Powdered Milk?

It can be hard to determine how much dry powdered milk you’ll need to cook with it in smaller amounts. That’s why I created the Powdered Milk Conversion chart that helps make it REALLY easy to cook with your powdered milk. Simply add the dry powdered milk to your dry ingredients and the necessary water to the wet ingredients.

Helpful Recipes for Using Powdered Milk:

Sweetened Condensed Milk: Yes, you can make sweetened condensed milk from your powdered milk, this recipe also has a how-to video!
Evaporated Milk: Amazing, right? You can also make evaporated milk.

Hi,
I'm just wondering, for the magic mix, if you use instant milk, do you need to double the amount like you would for anything else? Silly question, probably, but I just learned there was a difference between the two!

Yes, you would need to double the amount of milk.

Can I ask what you do if you have to have your kids drink whole milk because they need the fat content in it? Is there a way to have whole milk with using powdered milk as drinking milk? Our family needs the fat which is why I've been hesitant to make the change.

My kids drink whole milk. I store canned evaporated milk for them in case
of an emergency where I can't purchase milk.
