What can I do with my powdered milk?

Whole Milk: 1 c. water, 1/3 c. powdered milk

Evaporated Milk: 1 c. water, 2/3 c. powdered milk

Condensed milk: 1/2 c. hot water, 1 cup sugar, 1 c. powdered milk

Whipped Evaperated milk: 1 c. evaporated milk, 2 Tbs. lemon juice. Thoroughly chill evaporated milk. Add lemon juice and whip until stiff. Sweeten and flavor as needed.

Buttermilk: 1 c. water, 1/3 c. powdered milk, 1 T. vinegar or lemon juice

Drinkable powdered milk: To improve the flavor of powdered milk, mix it half and half with 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 before drinking.

Corn Chowder

Fry until crisp 1/2 lb. diced bacon. Remove from pan and drain. Pour off all but 3 Tbs. of the drippings and then:

saute: 1/2 c. chopped onion and 1/2 c. chopped celery
add: 3 cups water, 2 c. diced or shredded potatoes

Simmer until tender. Beat or blend 1 cup water, 3/4 c. non-instant milk powder (or 1 1/3 cups instant), 2 Tbs. flour, 1 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper

Remove pan from heat and stir the thickenings and milk into the potatoes and water. Add one can of cream syle corn. Heat thoroughly. Stir in bacon.
