Powdered milk

Powdered milk

Powdered milk is a powder made from dried (dehydrated) milk solids. Powdered milk has a far longer shelf life than liquid milk and does not need to be refrigerated, due to its low moisture content.

Powdered milk is frequently used in baking, in recipes where adding liquid milk would render the product too thin to be used. It is also a common in wherever fresh milk is not a viable option.

Reconstituting 1 cup of milk from powdered milk requires 1 cup of potable water and 1/3 cup of powdered milk.
