JO'S DAIRY MIXES
**************************************************
Jo's Evaporated Skim Milk
1/3 cup Carnation Nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup water
In a small bowl, combine dry milk powder and water. Mix well. Use as you would purchased evaporated skim milk. Makes 1/2 cup.
THE ENTIRE RECIPE EQUALS: HE: 1 skim milk...80 calories, 0 gm fat, 8 gm protein, 12 gm carbohydrate, 123 sodium, 276 mg calcium, 0 gm fiber...
DIABETIC: 1 skim milk
HINT: If you need 1 cup evaporated skim milk, double the recipe. For 1 1/2 cups, which is equivalent to one 12 fluid ounce can, simply triple the recipe. This is handy to know when you want to prepare a recipe calling for evaporated skim milk and you don't have any in the cupboard. Also, if you are using a recipe that only needs 1/2 cup evaporated skim milk, you don't have to worry about what to do with the leftovers remaining in the can.
****************************************************
Jo's Buttermilk
2/3 cups carnation nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup water
2 teaspoons white vinegar
In a small bowl, combine dry milk powder and water. Stir in vinegar. Let set 10 minutes. Use in any recipe that calls for buttermilk. Makes 1 cup.
THE ENTIRE RECIPE EQUALS: HE: 2 skim milk...160 calories, 0 gm fat, 16 gm protein, 24 gm carbohydrate, 246 mg sodium, 552 mg calcum, 0 gm fiber...
DIABETIC: 2 skim milk
Jo's Notes:
Yes, you can make "sour milk" by adding vinegar to regular milk. But, the texture is much thinner than buttermilk and doesn't work out quite as well in recipes. My version is thicker, so the final product turns out more like you used real buttermilk.
*******************************
Jo's Sour Cream
3/4 cup yoplait plain fat free yogurt
1/3 cup carnation nonfat dry milk powder
In a small bowl, combine yogurt and dry milk powder. Use as you would purchased sour cream. Makes 1 cup
ENTIRE RECIPE EQUALS: HE: 2 skim milk... 172 calories, 0 gm fat, 18 gm protein, 25 gm carbohydrate, 251 mg sodium, 276 mg calcium, 0 gm fiber...
DIABETIC: 2 skim milk
Jo's Notes:
What you are doing is four fold: (1) the dry milk stabilizes the yogurt and keeps the whey from separating, (2) the dry milk powder slightly helps to cut the tartness of the yogurt, (3) it's still virtually fat free, (4) and the calcium has been increased by 100%.
Use "as is" in any recipe that doesn't require heat. If you want to use in a stroganoff or a quick bread, simply stir 1 TEASPOON cornstarch into Jo's Sour Cream before adding it to the other ingredients, as this keeps the yogurt from separating.
Isn't it great how we can make yogurt, that distant relative of sour cream, a first kissin' cousin by adding the non fat dry milk powder! Yes, you can now find fat free sour cream just about everywhere. And, it's great on baked potato. But, have you noticed the texture isn't quite as creamy as real sour cream? Jo's sour cream has a texture closer to the real thing, so it works better in dips and baked goods.
********************************
Jo's Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 cup cold water
1 1/3 cups carnation nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup sugar twin or sprinkle sweet
Place cold water in a 2 cup glass measuring cup. Stir in dry milk powder until mixture makes a smooth paste. Cover and microwave on HIGH ( 100% ) for 45 to 60 seconds or until
mixture is very hot, but not to the boiling point. Stir in sugar twin. Mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using. Will keep up to 2 weeks in refrigerator. Use in any recipe that calls for sweetened condensed milk. Makes equivalent
of one 12 fluid ounce can of commercial brand.
ENTIRE RECIPE EQUALS: HE: 4 skim milk, 44 optional calories...316 calories, 0 gm fat, 32 gm protein, 47 gm carbohydrate, 496 mg sodium, 1112 mg calcium, 0 gm fiber...
DIABETIC: 4 skim milk
JO'S NOTES:
Just about the most unhealthy ingredient found in our grocery stores went to "reform school" and graduated a winner in nutrition! Fat free sweetened condensed milk is now available in most grocery stores, but it is still so high in sugar that it's not a good choice for diabetics or people concerned about excess calories. Besides, my version is much less expensive.
****************************************

1 cup carnation nonfat dry milk powder
1 1/2 cups water

After preparing my cream sauce, you will never go back to making a roux! I don't believe there is an easier or healthier cream sauce anywhere in 'RECIPE LAND."
