[Sca-cooks] Dry Milk

[Martha Sieting]

Sadly, Grand Rapids no longer has any bulk food stores (at least to my knowledge).  I may try some of our local health food stores if I get desperate enough.  King Arthur does still sell dry milk powder, but I don't relish the thought of paying $8.95 plus shipping for a pound of the stuff.

All that being said, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could substitute for the dry milk in the recipe I had originally asked about?  Would maybe finely ground tapioca be something to try?

Thanks,
