Milk substitutions:
Evaporated Milk - for every 8 ounces of evaporated milk called for in a recipe, simmer 2 1/4 cups whole milk until it reduces to one cup. Do not allow it to come to a boil, just a gentle simmer. Boiling changes the protein structure and the character of the milk in cooking.
Sweetened condensed milk - for every 14 ounces (one can) of sweetened condensed milk called for in a recipe, mix 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar into 1 cup of evaporated milk. Heat it just enough to get the sugar to dissolve completely.
Evaporated milk from powdered milk, for cooking or baking - 1 1/3 cup water, 1 cup powdered milk, 2 tbsp. oil The oil will not stay mixed so before you use it, shake or vigorously stir again.
