I read some of these helpful hints a long while back and thought... "huh", and I didn't give it much thought after that... Until, I needed to!
Condensed Milk - this is the sweetened milk
Place 1 cup powdered milk, 1/3 cup boiling water, 2/3 cup white sugar and 3 tablespoons butter in a blender and process until the sugar dissolves. This will make the equivalent of one can of sweetened condensed milk.
Evaporated Milk - unsweetened
1 ½ cups warm water
1 cup powdered milk
2 tablespoons butter
Mix milk powder and warm water together. Add the butter. Heat the mixture in a small pan. When thoroughly combined, beat with hand beater, cool and store in the refridgerator.
Baking Powder
Two tablespoons and cream of tartar to one tablespoon of bicarb will give you three tablespoons of baking powder. Only make up as much as you will be using.
Brown sugar
White sugar mixed with a little molasses.
Sour cream
Add the juice of a lemon to a cup of cream. Allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Buttermilk
Add one tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice to each cup of milk. Allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
