What is "powdered milk"?

Powdered milk, also known as dried milk, is a dairy product made by evaporating the moisture from regular milk, resulting in a fine powder. It is a convenient and shelf-stable alternative to liquid milk, offering versatility in various culinary applications. To use powdered milk, you simply reconstitute it by mixing it with water, providing an instant supply of milk. It can be used in baking recipes, as a substitute for liquid milk in cooking, or as a standalone beverage when mixed with water. Powdered milk is valued for its long shelf life and is often used in emergency food supplies or in situations where fresh milk may not be readily available.
