What kind of recipes are you looking to substitue it in? I've had alot of
success using both canned, evaporated nonfat milk, and dry nonfat milk.

There's also a book out there called "How to Make your Own Convienence Foods"
that has recipes for things like canned milk.

Try this; it works for me.

1 can, which is what recipes usually call for, =
1 1/3 cup powdered skim milk
7/8 cup sugar (1 cup minus 2 tbsp)
1 cup _HOT_ water

You will need some time to get everything dissolved. Use a whisk rather than
a blender. I find that the blender makes a frothy mess.

Best of luck,
andrea
