Bonlac Non Fast
Bonlac Non-Fat Milk Powder
What it is
This is a powdered milk product made from skimmed cow's milk. It has had most of its water removed, resulting in a dry, granular substance. When reconstituted with water, it provides a source of milk. The non-fat aspect means that the majority of the milk's natural fat content has been removed during processing.
How people cook with it
Powdered milk is a versatile pantry staple. It can be used in a variety of cooking and baking applications, as well as for simple beverage preparation.
- Reconstitute for drinking
- Add to baked goods
- Use in sauces and gravies
- Incorporate into smoothies
To prepare drinking milk, typically combine a specific amount of the powder with water, stirring until fully dissolved. The exact ratio can vary, so checking the packaging is recommended. This reconstituted milk can then be used like fresh milk. In baking, it can add richness and structure to doughs and batters. It can also be whisked into sauces or gravies to add body and a milky flavor without the liquid volume of fresh milk, making it useful for thickening.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh milk, this product is shelf-stable and does not require refrigeration until it is reconstituted. It also has a significantly lower fat content than whole milk powder. Its powdered form makes it lighter and easier to store in bulk.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers often keep this product on hand for convenience and versatility.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer the powder to an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent clumping. It is best to use the reconstituted milk within a few days of preparation and keep it refrigerated.
