Random Cooking Tip #47

Powdered milk works surprisingly well with pudding mixes.

I buy organic milk for our family to drink. Since organic milk is fairly expensive I try to use the powdered kind for cooking and baking. Every so often I'll make a quick batch of instant pudding for a dessert treat, and I've started adding powdered milk and water to the mix. The pudding turns out very well --- thick and creamy.

I use 1/2 cup of powdered skim milk and add enough cold water to make 2 cups. Pudding powder, two minutes with a hand mixer, and voila! Our family can enjoy a yummy, nutritious treat.
