About Milk Powder
Milk powder, also known as dried milk, is a dairy product made by evaporating milk to remove its water content. This process results in a shelf-stable, fine powder that retains the nutritional benefits of liquid milk, including proteins, vitamins, and minerals. In baking, milk powder enhances structure due to its protein content, adds a rich, creamy flavor, and promotes tenderness by improving moisture retention. Its concentrated nature allows bakers to boost flavor and nutritional value without altering the liquid balance in recipes, making it a versatile staple in cookies, breads, and cakes.
