DRY MILK...

Dry Milk can be used in any recipe.


Adding additional milk to a recipe will enhance the nutritive value of the recipe.

In any recipe calling for milk, simply ad the dry milk in with the other dry ingredients. sift to blend then add water called for in the dry milk in with all the other wet ingredients.

Foods made with powdered milk will have fewer calories and less cholesterol than those made from whole milk.

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 evaporated milk


Whipped Evaporated Milk
Makes 3 Cups

1 cup evaporated milk
2 T Lemon Juice

Thoroughly chill evaporated milk.
Add lemon juice and whip until stiff.
Sweeten and flavor as desired.


Condensed Milk
1/2 Cup Hot Water
4 cups powdered milk
2 cups Sugar
1/4 cup butter
Blend in blender very well. Can be stored in fridge or frozen.


Butter Milk or Sour Milk
1 Cup water
1 T vinegar or lemon juice
1/3 cup powdered milk


Drinkable powdered milk
Powdered milk is better used in recipes than to drink. To improve the flavor of powdered milk, mix half whole or 2% milk. Another suggestion would be to try adding a little sugar or vanilla to enhance the flavor. Let it chill for several hours.


Rice Milk
1/2 cup rice
1/2 to 1 T. brown sugar or other sweetener
2 cups water
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (opt.)

Place ingredients inn a blender (Vita-Mix works best).
Run on high 2-3 minutes or until smooth. Shake well before using.


Sour Cream
Don't have any?? Mix one cup milk with one T. lemon juice.
Let sit for ten minutes. Can use in recipes like stroganoff.

Grains Class...

Today we had an enrichment activity that focused mostly on the use of fresh grains in our everyday meals - Kristine Ward led the discusion in her home -- & was full of excitement and information about all the grains she can get her hands on.

According to Kristine this is a book to have... click on the link below...

Cooking & Baking with Fresh Ground Flour
Complete Grain Guide

by Christine Downs

She made a Waffles using a recipe from this book --
slightly altered.
The Recipes is as follows...


Simple Whole Wheat Waffles / Pancakes
pg. 18 of Cooking & Baking with Fresh Ground Flour by Christine Downs


1 cup freshly ground red or white hard wheat flour
1/4 level tsp salt
2 level tsp Baking Powder
4 eggs
1 cup Milk
2 tbsp melted butter

1. Combine the flour salt and Baking Powder in a medium size bowl
2. Beat the eggs and milk until batter is smooth. Stir in the Melted Butter. Mix Well.
3. Pour the batter into Hot, well oiled waffle iron or skillet. Cook until brown.

These were quite wonderful even with out any toppings - honestly no need for butter or syrup! -- although I was in charge of the toppings and was sure to bring plenty of less than healthy choices there. haha.
