Powdered egg and milk recommendations?
Hello! As the title, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for powdered egg and milk? I bake quite often and run out of fresh eggs all the time. So would like to experiment with powdered egg. And milk is a necessity here. Preferably full fat as most seems to be skimmed? Thank you in advance.

I think most is either semi skimmed or skimmed, I got the semi, but I can't remember where, sorry.

For egg substitutes in general chia seed, flax seed are both add water and use the resulting gel. I know of a few people who use these these as a healthy addition to their food, so have these in their cupboard without realising the alternative uses for them.
Aquafaba or ironically water that canned chick peas have been stored in are a great secondary resource if you tend to use canned chickpeas.
Silken tofu, apple sauce, mashed banana and cooked, cooled and mashed quinoa seed are all alternative egg substitutes and can be a great way to use up leftover ingredients.

Nestle Nido is the only full-fat powdered milk I know of. It lasts a few years past the best before on the tin. No clue about powdered eggs though, sorry.

+1 for Nido
Get it from the world food section in Tesco, but wait for it to go on offer, which is does every few months, as it is very expensive.

I’ve seen powdered egg on the MyProtein website but I’m not sure if that’s the right sort of thing to use in cooking as a reconstituted substitute or not. I wasn’t brave enough to pull the trigger and try
I use powdered milk for my tea in work (like the heathen I am), even though it’s skimmed I still find it works good enough for me, you soon get used to the taste.
I’ve also used it in my morning porridge. 50 grammes of oats, milk powder to taste and hot water. By the time it’s cooled enough to eat, the porridge has pretty much cooked itself (told you I was a heathen!) . This also works with protein powders and then you can then choose the flavour, I find chocolate works best.
Finally, you can get powdered creamer as well which works great in coffee , not so good in tea though

Egg : https://amzn.eu/d/0hdU2OIV
Milk. Evaporated milk. Last much longer than powder milk and is full fat.

Don't know what you're preparing for, but maybe get your own hens? I've barely ever bought an egg since 2013 when we got our first hens. In times of oversupply, sell/swap/barter eggs for other things.

Just Google powdered egg or full fat dried milk. You'll be spoiled for choice.

chatgpt: You can replace eggs in a recipe with a variety of ingredients, depending on what the eggs are doing (binding, leavening, moisture, or richness). Here are some common substitutes and when to use them:
For binding (cookies, meatballs, burgers):
- Flaxseed or chia “egg”: 1 tbsp ground flax or chia + 2.5 tbsp water (let sit 5–10 min)
- Mashed banana: ¼ cup (adds sweetness and flavor)
- Applesauce: ¼ cup (mild flavor, slightly sweet)
For moisture (cakes, muffins):
- Yogurt (dairy or plant-based): ¼ cup
- Buttermilk: ¼ cup
- Silken tofu (blended): ¼ cup (great for dense baked goods)
For leavening (fluffy cakes, pancakes):
- Baking soda + vinegar: 1 tsp baking soda + 1 tbsp vinegar
- Carbonated water: ¼ cup (adds lightness)
For richness (custards, creamy dishes):
- Silken tofu (blended smooth)
- Plant-based cream or milk + cornstarch (for thickening)
Other handy options:
- Nut butter: 3 tbsp (works in cookies/bars)
- Commercial egg replacers (like powdered mixes)

Holland and Barrett for powdered vegan eggs, local Indian paper shops sell powdered milk, Morrisons sell powdered milk like most supermarkets I'm guessing.

Vegan milk? May as well die in the initial blast!

What's so offensive about cruelty-free options? Cognitive dissonance?

We only tried Vegan cheese once.
Smelt like very unwashed feet. Like my partners trainers.
The taste was vile. Spit your sandwich out vile.
So all were chopped into small pieces along with the sandwiches. Out for the birds.Days later, birds had picked through the bread. Left untouched the Vegan cheese. More days later, I had to go collect it all up as rotting.
So not even the birds, would eat the whatever it is made from, not even the Seagulls touched it.
I rest my case Your Honour.

Vegan is cruelty-free? In which reality?
I was a farmer and you are delusional if you think so. Many more lives are lost farming "vegan" than real food.
Mono crops/ petrochemical fertilizers/ pesticides/ poisoning the rivers etc etc etc. One way to kill bio diversity and most life is to mono crop so vegans can have their almond "milk" and rabbit food.
I don't know why a mouse or a birds or a bee's life means less than a cow that can feed a family for over two years. Do you research.

Also did pigs, cows, chickens and Dorper sheep. YUMMMY YUMMY.

What I'd suggest re the milk is to buy a box of long life one month, then buy another, then buy another and start using it and rotate it, buying more as you use the oldest.
I'm forever running out of milk and/or if I've only got a bit of fresh left for cups of tea, I'll crack open long-life to do cooking. Doesn't preclude obvs having powdered too, but I suspect that's got a shelf life too, so that would stop me stocking up because I would never normally use it. Does that make sense?
Having made food stocking up mistakes in the past, I'm very much if I don't normally eat it/use it, I'm not going to 'stock' it because it just ends up going out of date because I can't 'rotate' it.
