Don’t Toss It! 5 Genius Ways to Use Spoiled Milk in Baking

Why It Works

The acidity in spoiled milk works similarly to buttermilk, adding tenderness and lightness to baked goods. It enhances the rise of biscuits, pancakes, and cakes while preventing food waste.

How to Use It:

• Fluffy Pancakes: Use soured milk instead of buttermilk for extra fluffy pancakes.
• Tender Biscuits: Add to biscuit dough for a soft, tangy texture.
• Homemade Ricotta: Heat spoiled milk, strain it, and turn it into creamy ricotta.
• Marinades for Meat: The acidity tenderizes chicken and pork.
• Moist Cakes: Works as a milk substitute in cake recipes for added richness.

Storage Tip:

If the milk has curdled but doesn’t smell rotten, it’s still safe for cooking. If it has mold or a foul odor, discard it.
