Question 14

Analysis of powdered milk

Accepted Answer

Cooking with powdered milk is an art that has to do more with proportions than actual cooking. It can be used as an excellent substitute for milk in various recipes including soups, baked goods, smoothies, and more. The place where most people go wrong with powdered milk is the ratio of water to powder. Using too much water can make the milk taste diluted and not using enough can make it too creamy or even lumpy. What’s important is to follow the instructions on the packaging or look online for optimal ratios for the type of recipe you're following.

To get the most out of powdered milk, use it for recipes where the taste of milk is not the star of the dish since the powdered milk flavor might be a bit different from fresh milk. Some little known tips include adding powdered milk to your coffee or tea for a creamy taste without the high fat content of cream. Also, a trick is to use cold water to mix it with the powder as it helps to reduce lumpiness.
