How to make toasted Milk Powder: Your New Secret Ingredient for Baking
Prep Time:1 minute
Cook Time:12 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of milk powder full-fat or skim, depending on your preference

Instructions

  • Pour the milk powder into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Keep the heat medium-low to avoid burning.
  • Using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula (better result), stir the milk powder almost continuously. This is crucial to ensure that it caramelizes evenly without burning. You will notice the powder changing colour from white to light brown.
  • Continue stirring until the milk powder reaches a golden-brown colour and emits a nutty, caramel-like aroma. Take the pan off the heat towards the end and continue stirring as the residual heat carries on cooking the milk powder. This should take about 8-12 minutes in total.
  • Cool and Store: Remove the pan from heat and let the brown milk powder cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.

Notes

Store the caramelised milk powder in a glass jar with a lid. Keep it in a cool dark part of your pantry.
Use within a couple of months. I have not tested the full shelf life of this.
