Milk and egg powders offer many of the useful qualities of milk and eggs in a convenient dehydrated form. Made from animal-derived ingredients, by removing much of their moisture, they give you the convenience of having eggs and milk on hand when fresh milk or eggs are not available. They also are a practical choice in places where fresh produce is miles away.
In this range, you will find everything from whole milk powder and skimmed milk powder to whole egg powder, egg white powder and egg yolk powder. Each one has different qualities, many retain good nutritional value. Milk powders are creamy, while egg powders lend structure, binding, richness and emulsification.
These ingredients are extremely versatile. Thus, when the recipe calls, they can be used directly in their powdered form or rehydrated with water before use. This makes them convenient for baking cakes, breads, biscuits and pancakes, as well as preparing sauces, desserts and dry mixes.
Measuring and storing are both easy. Their longer shelf life can help reduce dependence on fresh ingredients and minimise waste. Whether you run a professional kitchen or are a home cook, this reliable form of common daily ingredients must be kept as an alternative for emergencies.
