Evaporated Milk Substitution

By littlefish

Ingredients

• whole milk
• or
• whole milk & half and half
• or
• powdered milk

Preparation

Step 1

You can substitute other household ingredients for evaporated milk, such as light whipping cream, to yield a creamy, flavorful dish. You can also combine whole milk with half-and-half to yield an evaporated milk replacement; for example, for 1 cup of evaporated milk, use ¾ cups whole milk and ¼ cup half-and-half. If you don’t have a replacement, make your own evaporated milk by simmering 2 ¼ cups of regular milk in a sauce pan until it becomes 1 cup, making sure that the milk never gets to the boiling point. To get the same texture as evaporated milk, take powdered milk and prepare it as directed, but only use 40 percent of the liquid.
