Taco Seasoning

1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Store in an airtight container.

Buttermilk

1 cup water
2/3 cup dry milk powder
1 tsp white vinegar

Mix & let set for at least 10 minutes

Evaporated Skim Milk

For every 1/2 cup of evaporated skim milk needed, combine
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup water

Use as you would evaporated skim milk in a recipe.

Sour Cream

3/4 cup plain fat free yogurt
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder

Mix the yogurt & dry milk powder to substitute for sour cream in recipes. The dry milk stabilizes the yogurt and keeps the whey from separating. The dry milk helps to cut the tartness of the yogurt. It's virtually fat-free, and the calcium has been increased by 100 percent.

If the recipe requires heating add 1 tsp. cornstarch to the above.

Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/2 cup cold water
1 1/3 cups Carnation Dry Milk Powder
1/2 cup sugar or sugar substitute

Place cold water in a 2 cup glass measure. Stir in dry milk powder until mixture makes a smooth paste. Cover & microwave on high 45-60 seconds (until mixture is very hot). mix in sugar. Cover and refridgerate for two hours before using.
