Hi jacjac300:

I use dry milk often for baking. Thought this link would be helpful too. Sincerely, Cate

This is one of my favorites ....

PEANUT BUTTER NIBBLERS

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1 cup powdered milk

2/3 cup powdered sugar

6 ounces semisweet chocoate (more if you make smaller balls)

1/2 teaspoon shortening (optional)

colored sprinkles or finely chopped peanuts for garnish (optional)

In a mixing bowl, at medium speed, cream the peanut butter and  corn syrup.  At low speed add the powdered milk and sguar and beat until well-blended. The mixture should be fairly stiff.

Shape into 1 inch rounds (i usually make them a little smaller), place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and chill in the refrigerator.

Melt the chocolate (with the shortening if desired -- i find it makes it easier to work with) and using a spoon, roll the balls in the chocolate to coat, and return to the baking sheet and sprinkled immediately with the garnish if desisred. Chill in the  fridge until set.

I stumbled across this recipe in an old book and immediately remembered your post.

hi jacjac300! i add a couple of tablespoons of dry milk to the flour mixture when making bread. it seems to rise better and also adds flavor.

hi jacjac300, Welcome to the site. This is a good site to post and read posts, everyone is very helpful. I have done the following with powdered/dry milk. Mix according to directions and then mix it 1/2 & 1/2 with whole- vitamin D milk, makes the milk double and saves money without much taste change. You might try 1 pt.or qt. to see if you like it. I also use it in any recipe calling for milk. Just put the amount of powder/dry milk in with the dry ingredents( if you get a little to much, it won't hurt, and them measure water in the amount called for in the recipe. For 1 c. milk+ 1/3 ? c. powdered/dry milk and then 1 c. water. I also use it when making all breads. I have mixed it 1/2 & 1/2 and added chocolate to it to make chocolate milk. Later I post a home made "hot chocolate mixture" to make.  Granna2
