Substitute milk for the liquid in the dough. You may need to add just a touch more to get the dough to the correct consistency, but you should be fine doing that.

I have a recipe for apple fritters, to be fried in oil. It calls for 1/2 cup non fat dry milk powder. I am trying to find a suitable substitute. I have read that I can use evaporated milk, but I'm not sure how that will work out. I have a canister of carnation malted milk powder. Would that work?

Try looking for non-dairy substitutes on dairy allergy web sites, or on vegan web sites since vegans eat no animal products. This is an example: www.leaf.tv/
You might need to go to a store that specializes in foods for people with allergies.
Soy or almond milk would work
What is equivalent to 3/4 cup of powdered milk if I don't have any?

Does the recipe call for the powdered milk to be "dry" or reconstituted? I have a recipe which calls for the powdered milk be used "dry". If that is the case you might try dry coffee creamer.

I ran out of powdered milk. What can I use for a substitute?

Very good recipe for cooking and baking substitutions:

You can also use rice, soy or almond milk in place of powdered milk. (09/28/2007)

Depending on the recipe, I have been known to substitute powdered coffee creamer. I wouldn't want to put it on cereal though. (10/01/2007)

My youngest daughter is allergic to dairy and I discovered that a lot of things are fine if I just used water. If it is cake or cookies add a Tbsp. of mayonnaise too. (10/01/2007)

Depends what u need it for. Substitute liquid milk by reducing liquids in a recipe accordingly. Otherwise, creamer could also be use, but as it is an oil product, the nutrition wouldn't be there. Depending on the recipe, a mild juice like apple can be used instead. (10/02/2007)

If you are asked for dry milk for a bread recipe you can use the following substitution:
3 Tbsp dry milk = 1/2 cup+1 Tbsp fresh milk
2 1/2 Tbsp = 1/2 cup
2 Tbsp = 3/8 cup
1 1/2 Tbsp = 5 Tbsp
1 Tbsp = 3 Tbsp
1/2 Tbsp = 2 Tbsp
The milk solids add only colour and a dash of nutrients so you can either sub some of your water for milk or skip it all together without any problems. (09/28/2008)
