  • We don't have whole milk in my household.  We have skim milk and half and half.  (Don't ask.)

    Some recipes call for whole milk.  How do I recreate it from those components?  I need a ratio.

  • Just go out and buy some whole milk!

  • The amount of fat in Half and Half can vary quite a bit by brand. If you figure the average is around 14%, then you could use 25% half and half and 75% skim.

  • I wish I could help...It reminds me of math problems, there would be the ones where...don't have enough variables to answer the equation...or however it went.  I feel I am in that situation.  I say this with a straight face, if it calls for x amount of whole mike, it will be 3 times as good with x amount of half n half!

  • Powdered?

    I can't see wasting 1/2 and 1/2 in skim.  :puke:
