Biscuits without milk ?
Â* Well , this time I'll be using them for dumplings , but the same
recipe . Mine calls for 2/3 C milk , and my wife is lactose intolerant .... Last time I subbed her soy milk for cow's , and the biscuits didn't rise well if at all . So I'm wondering if I can use plain water , or at least cut way back using powdered milk . I simmered the carcass and bones of our T-Day Turkey Today , it's dumpling time ! -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

My oldest brother was lactose intolerant but it did not affect him when it came to eating biscuits. Did I read or did I imagine there is some pill that an intolerant person can take to overcome this problem when they eat something with dairy in it? |

I had a scoop of ice cream yesterday and have been paying for it for the last 24 hours. I can sometimes eat dairy products with no problem but sometimes I cannot. My guess is that I can cure myself by eating some yogurt and then drinking a little milk every day to keep a robust colony of lactose loving bacteria alive and thriving in my gut. Well, that's my theory anyway. My guess is that lactose is hitting me so badly because I've been very good at avoiding it recently. |

It is fermented milk and has the stuff your guts need to deal with the lactose. They now have sweetend, flavoured kefir that are a lot like a milk shaks. |

I can just get some yogurt and have a spoonful every day and I'll be A-OK. If I go to a Korean market, I'll usually pick up little bottles of probiotics. They come in single shots and they sell for for 6 for 99 cents. https://www.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/...it-so-popular- |

In a similar note, I've often made a white sauce using water or broth rather than milk. Not white anymore but still tasty. |

My guess is that adding a little titanium dioxide to the water will give a really white white sauce. As an added bonus, your vegan friends can freely partake of your white sauce. https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&ke...ide+food+grade |

My daughter got some almond milk Redi-whip. It's non-dairy although it has a distinct coconut taste to it. I think it's something that guys like me and vegans will appreciate. https://www.cookinglight.com/news/re...-whipped-cream |

Nope. I actually don't measure the liquid. I just add it until it looks right. So I might add a bit more than called for. I just made corn muffins and realized after I took them out of the oven, I forgot the oil! I did add cheese so maybe that was enough fat. The taste and texture is the same as usual. |

I figure that I'm going to be a better judge of the amount of liquids to add than some editor sitting at a computer in Indiana. Congrats on getting it. |

I have been baking for so long I often wing it on things like that. I always "wing it" when adding milk to real potatoes before mashing them. If not enough, easy to add more but occasionally, not often, I will toss in too much milk and they get runny. This is where those dried potato flakes come in real handy. Just a few sprinkles of those will firm them right back up where they should be. |

Well Cindy, I'm not surprised. Pretty much no matter what you come with in cooking now, someone else has already "been there, done that." I did try that on my own though...never knew about it. No big deal. |

Write that on a piece of cardboard and go stand at a busy Hawaiian intersection, preferably with a bit of spit on your chin. |
