I’ve gone to the Everyday Food Storage web site for years. I learned how to make tortillas from scratch from them. Here is a link to the info on powdered milk….

It says about midway through that if you are using instant powdered milk in their recipes, that you need to use about twice what they ask for. I make a soup that calls for evaporated milk…and tried their conversions….and it wasn’t as tasty. But in a pinch, it would work.

I was finally able to purchase non instant dry milk on the internet. The first shipment I got …. they sent instant. So they had to reship me the non instant.

Just a note that there are 2 kinds of powdered milk – instant and non-instant. The everyday food storage site uses non instant, which is not easy to find (every brand at our local store, except for the organic, was instant). The properties are different and so are the measurements if you are using instant. hth!

Though I don’t drink coffee, I do make my own sweetened condensed milk to use in recipes that call for it. My recipe is just a little different from yours:

In blender, place 1/2 c. boiling water. Add 1 c. powdered milk, 2/3 c. sugar, 3 Tbs. melted butter, and a couple of drops of vanilla. Blend on high for about 30 seconds or until smooth. Let cool before using. Store covered in fridge and use withing three or four days. It works as well as store-bought in desserts or whatever recipes you have that call for it.
