Once you get some baking practice, you realize that it’s actually easy to get creative with desserts and make something new each time using pretty much the same ingredients.

However, even though flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and butter will get you far, professional bakers always have a trick or two up their sleeve that allows them to make fantastic desserts every single time. One of their secrets is milk powder, and here’s how you can use it for baking.

What It Is

Milk powder is the product of evaporating liquid out of milk. It’s basically concentrated milk, full of fat, protein, and flavor. It’s a perfect way to add creaminess to desserts without having to adjust the amount of liquids in the recipe. It’s also great for always having in the pantry. Unlike milk, it doesn’t need to be refrigerated and you can get it in bulk and keep in your kitchen for when you need it.

How To Use It

You can use milk powder in many different foods, like ice cream, brownies, cookies, and cakes. It will always add a fantastic flavor and nobody will have any idea what you did differently. Try adding a tablespoon of it to anything you like to bake and see how it changes the taste!
