Dry Milk

I received this information in Relief Society. It gives some suggestions on how to use your dry packed dry milk. I use the baking with dry milk when I am making soup and it calls for milk. I remember Mom used to always mix our milk with dry milk when we were kids.

Mix it half and half with whole milk. You will have a product that much like 2% milk.
*Mix 2 quarts water with 1 1/2 cups dry milk to make 1/2 gallon of milk. Then mix in 1/2 gallon of whole milk to make 1 gallon of 2% milk. Use a wire whisk to mix

Baking with dry milk.
*If a recipe calls for 1 cup of milk, stir 3 tablespoons of dry milk into the flour and use 1 cup of water in place of milk in the recipe. Keep a container of dry milk next to your flour container for convenience.

White Sauce, using dry milk is simple, quick and cheaper than canned creamed soups.
1 cup water
3 tablespoons dry milk
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Boil 1/2 cup water. Mix in bowl 1/2 cup water and remaining ingredients except the butter with a whisk. When water is boiling, reduce heat. Stir in blended milk mixture. Mix until thick. Add butter.
