Substitute for Evaporated Milk

[Le Taz Hot]

I was preparing a recipe that required Evaporated Milk (which I didn't have) and found this substitue. It worked great!

2/3 cups nonfat dry milk
¾ cups water

Mix together. Makes 1 cup

1. Thank you!

I'm going to add this to my computer cookbook.

2. Good to know,

I always have non-fat dry milk on hand now. We don't drink/use regular milk, but I use the dry stuff for my tomatoes in the spring/summer/fall and usually have enough left over for using in recipes during the dairy-craving days of winter.

Thanks for the tip!
