Questions about Skim milk
Can you use skim milk in tea and coffee?
Yes. Add it cold or warm it gently; because it has very little fat, it makes a less creamy drink than whole milk and can scald if boiled.
Can you make a white sauce with skim milk?
Yes. Whisk it gradually into a butter-and-flour roux over medium heat, then simmer for a few minutes until thick; the sauce will be less rich than one made with whole milk.
Can you use skim milk instead of whole milk in baking?
Usually. It works in pancakes, scones and cakes, but gives a less tender, less rich result; where richness matters, add a little extra butter or oil.
Can you freeze skim milk?
Yes, but it may separate or turn grainy as it thaws. Freeze it in a sealed container with room for expansion, thaw it in the fridge, then shake well and use it in cooking or baking.
How should you store skim milk after opening?
Keep it covered in the fridge at 4 °C or colder, rather than in the door where the temperature fluctuates. Use it by the date and storage guidance on the pack.
Does skim milk need to be boiled before you drink it?
No, if it is sold as pasteurised or UHT milk; it is ready to drink. Boiling can give it a cooked taste and make a skin form on top.
Can you make yoghurt with skim milk?
Yes. Heat it to about 85 °C, cool it to around 43 °C, stir in a yoghurt starter and keep it warm until set; skim-milk yoghurt is usually less creamy than full-fat yoghurt.
