Dairy powder is an inexpensive options for the kitchen that can help you create a variety of delicious dishes without the need for more expensive items like regular milk or other types of whole dairy products.
So incorporating dairy powder in to your meal preparations where possible can help save your cafe some money over time. Using dairy powder can also help save you time over mixing milks and other products together to create your dishes. While you can't use dairy powder in place of regular milk, eggs, and other dairy products, there are many ways you can use it. Here are just a few:
Smoothies and Milkshakes
Dairy powder can be used to create delicious smoothies and milkshakes. Instead of using regular milk to liquefy the ice cream, fruits, and other ingredients you put in your milkshake and smoothie recipes, you can use dairy powder and water. You can create as thin or as thick of a base as you want, which means that you can create even creamier blends using the dairy powder than you can when using just milk. If you prefer to use regular milk for your shakes and smoothies, try adding some dairy powder as well to thicken the mixture up and make your glasses look fuller when you're serving your drinks.
Pancakes and Waffles
Many pancake and waffle recipes include milk, and dairy powder makes a great replacement most of the time. What's great about using dairy powder for your pancake and waffle recipes is that you can mix all of your dry ingredients together including the dairy powder beforehand. You can create large batches of pancake and waffle mix in-house to save money over buying already prepared options from a supplier.
Your kitchen staff can then use the dry mix to create smaller batches of pancakes and waffles throughout the breakfast hours so your customers are always getting fresh made goods that they'll enjoy enough to keep coming back for.
House Made Creamers
Dairy creamers can even be used to create your own custom house made creamers for customers to enjoy in their coffees and teas. Simply add some cinnamon or vanilla powder to some dairy powder and you've created a delectable creamer that anyone would be happy to sip on. You can mix dairy powder with a wide variety of spices and ingredients to create delicious creamers such as cocoa powder, strawberry powder, cardamon, turmeric, sugar, and even chili powder. Experiment and get feedback from your customers to come up with two or three custom creamers to keep in your cafe's kitchen.
