Cooking with Powdered Milk

I found this in my e-mail today. I hope helps with ideas for using the powdered milk, found in your food storage. The key to finding a good quality milk has always been, by word of mouth. Ask your friends which ones they prefer. Ask for a small sample or a small glass to try. The one I've found is no longer available. It was however, a low heat treated milk and had amazing flavor. So, if you do have a good one to suggest, please leave the brand and where to get it in the comment line. Thank you!
