Augason Farms Nonfat Dry Milk Powder, 822g
What it is
This is a dehydrated form of skim milk, meaning the water has been removed. It comes in a powdered state, making it shelf-stable and easy to store. When rehydrated with water, it reconstitutes into a liquid milk with a lower fat content than whole milk. It is a versatile pantry staple for various culinary applications.
How people cook with it
This nonfat dry milk powder is useful for adding a dairy component to recipes without adding extra fat. It can also be used as a convenient milk source when fresh milk is unavailable.
- Rehydrating for drinking
- Adding to baked goods
- Thickening sauces and soups
- Making puddings and custards
To reconstitute, combine the powder with water according to package directions. For general cooking, you can often substitute the powder directly into dry ingredients in recipes like bread or cookies, then add the required water along with other liquids. When making sauces or gravies, whisking the powder into a small amount of cold water before adding it to the hot liquid can help prevent lumps. It can also be added to smoothies for a creamy texture and a boost of milk solids.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike liquid milk, this dry powder has a much longer shelf life and does not require refrigeration until it is rehydrated. It also offers a concentrated milk flavor that can be adjusted by the amount of water used, allowing for varying richness.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers who want a long-lasting milk option for their kitchen.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened container in a cool, dry place. Once opened, it is best to transfer the powder to an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent clumping. Keep it away from moisture and strong odors.
