Substitute for Evaporated Milk

Evaporated milk is nothing but a concentrated form of milk that is used in recipes to add richness. There are a few substitutes for evaporated milk. One way to do this is to make your own evaporated milk. Measure 2/3 cup of non-fat dry milk and 3/4 cup of water and mix together. If you do not have dry milk on hand, you could try using sour cream instead. The downside to using sour cream is that it may make your dish a little too rich. One other substitute for evaporated milk is to use sweetened condensed milk and do not use any sugar for the rest of the recipe.
