The milk fat content (usually 20%-28%) in milk powder is hydrated and restructured, and then whipped at high speed to form a stable structure similar to animal butter. Experimental data shows that the success rate of whole milk powder can reach 85%, while skimmed milk powder needs to be supplemented with fat.
| Material type | Recommended ratio | Finished product expansion rate |
|---|---|---|
| whole milk powder | 100g milk powder: 200ml water | 2.5-3 times |
| Skim milk powder + butter | 80g milk powder + 20g butter: 200ml water | 2-2.3 times |
