Malted Milk Powder Recipe FAQs
Does malted milk powder go bad?
Yes, malted milk powder will eventually go bad. Keep it in a sealed container in a cool, dry and dark place (like your pantry) for up to 12 months. Malted milk powder should be a light tan color with a toasty aroma, so if yours looks darkened or clumpy and has no aroma, toss it.
What is malted milk powder used for?
Malted milk powder is used to add a toasty flavor with a distinct cooked-milk note (similar to butterscotch, caramel or toffee) to drinks and baked goods. The extra lactose from the evaporated milk also creates even browning during baking. I like to think about this ingredient the same way as vanilla extract or salt, where a little bit of it remarkably enhances the overall flavor. Use malted milk powder in hot chocolate, lattes, milkshakes, scones, waffles, pancakes, cookies, bars, frosting, cakes and ice cream.
What is malted milk powder made of?
Malted milk powder is made of malted barley extracts, wheat flour, evaporated milk and salt. Each brand (Carnation being the most popular) has its own specific blend, so not every malted milk powder will taste the same, but the differences are minor enough that you can use them interchangeably. Since this ingredient contains barley, wheat and milk, it’s not suitable for anyone who sticks to a gluten-free, dairy-free or vegan diet.
