How to dilute milk powder

Legends can be made about the benefits of milk, which is why many culinary specialists use the product as the main component for dishes. There are many options for processing milk, starting with pasteurization, ending with sublimation into a dry mixture. It should be understood that the beneficial qualities of the composition do not change, but the taste sensations can fluctuate. Milk powder is much cheaper than store milk or home milk. For this reason, many housewives are wondering how to breed it.

Types of milk powder

Regardless of the species, the principle of dilution of the composition remains identical. Today, there are three main types of milk powder: skim product, whole milk, instant powder. Let's talk about everything in order.

1. Skimmed milk powder. The composition is whole cow's milk that has undergone the procedure of removing fat to the level of 0.5-1.5% (in some cases up to 5%). For this reason, the shelf life of milk powder is at least 9 months, which is good news. Most often, this type of composition is found in the production of hard and soft cheeses, pastries.
2. Whole milk powder. This type of dry mix is ​​considered the most nutritious and popular. Fats are not removed from milk, they are contained in the product in full. As a result of this feature, the shelf life is reduced. The milk is kept in the cold for no longer than 3 months. The composition is used in cooking and in the production of baby food.
3. Instant milk powder. The mixture is made on the basis of whole and skim milk. The ingredients are taken in a ratio of 1: 2. Then the drinks are dried and sublimated, as a result, a fine-grained powder is obtained. Instant milk is used in all types of culinary industry. It is most suitable for preparing baby food.

Features of milk powder

2. Today, the dry mix is ​​gaining popularity in the regions of residence, which are deprived of a natural product and milk delivery. In addition, many housewives prefer to buy the composition in this form because of the low price category.
3. If we talk about the energy value of milk powder, the caloric content of a high-fat composition is 540 Kcal per 100 g. In the case of skim milk (0.5-1.5%), this figure drops to 365 Kcal.

Useful qualities of milk powder

1. The product contains a lot of calcium, which strengthens bone tissue, has a positive effect on hair, nails, skin and muscle fibers. Often, milk powder is drunk by athletes who want to gain weight.

4. Elements of almost all fractions normalize the hormonal background, remove cholesterol, and fight diabetes.
5. Sulfur, sodium, potassium, iodine, selenium, choline, cobalt, iron and other minerals favorably affect all metabolic processes of the body.

Milk Powder Breeding Technology

To enjoy all the beneficial properties of a dry powder, it is necessary to dilute it with drinking water.In this way, you will return the milk to its original form.

1. Traditionally, water is mixed with milk powder in a ratio of 3: 1. For 1 glass of powder there are about 3 glasses of liquid. It is necessary to take only warm water.
2. Depending on the goal pursued, these proportions may vary. For example, when making porridge, it is better to take less water to make the mixture thick. If you plan to drink milk, adhere to the initially set parameters.
3. An ideal option for breeding powdered milk is warm water. Do not manipulate the liquid with high temperature, otherwise the powder will immediately coagulate. Cold water is also not considered useful, it starts the crystallization process.
4. Sieve dry powder in a convenient way to begin manipulations. Pour the required amount of water into a separate bowl, then start pouring milk. It should form a film, immediately mix the mixture.
5. Continue the procedure until you pour the entire mixture into water. Use a fork, not a mixer, to stir. In the second case, unnecessary foam will appear on the surface. After dilution, leave the milk to infuse for 20 minutes.

2. Cool the eggs, then beat them with granulated sugar, pour in the whole sifted milk and wheat flour. Enter loose components in small portions, stir at the same time.
3. At the very end, enter the soda, after extinguishing it with vinegar. Line the baking sheet with baking paper, do not burn your hands. Pour the dough into the cavity, send to the oven. Turn on the temperature by 210 degrees.
4. Bake the roll for 4-5 minutes. When the specified period has passed, immediately roll the layer from the dough into a roll, putting any filling on it (jam, jam, etc.).

The dry mix refers to natural products, as it is prepared on the basis of cow's milk. First, the composition is thickened, then thermally processed at a temperature of 160 degrees. Thus, sublimation to powder takes place. With breeding should not be a problem, mix milk and water in a ratio of 1: 3.
