Making 1% milk into whole milk
I have a yeast Roll recipe that calls for 1 cup of whole milk. I only have 1% milk. What can I do to make the 1% equivalent to whole milk.
Best Answer
You can't directly make whole milk out of lowfat milk and milkfat. But if you like, you can try adding back some fat to the recipe -- melted butter or vegetable oil -- at the concentration of, I suppose, 2.5%. (If the recipe already includes one of these, just increase the amount.) The result will not be quite the same, but will be very close.
In a yeasted bread, though, the difference between 1% and whole milk probably won't be significant. I'd just use the 1% milk, and see what happens.

Answer 2
You can simply add half and half to your skim milk, about 1 tablespoon (half ounce) per cup of 1% milk to make a new cup of whole milk (slightly more than a cup).
Answer 3
Whole milk is 4% fat, so you need to increase your fat by 3%. Essentially you need to substitute 3ml of fat for 3ml of milk per 100ml, which is just over half a teaspoon. 1 tsp is 5ml, so you can substitute tsp of milk for fat per 200ml. Butter is 80% fat, so you can use that. Cream is anywhere up to 60% fat so if you are going to add cream instead you'll need to factor that in.
