Can You Replace Milk With Water?

Question

I want to make some biscuits but I have no milk handy.

can I use water instead?

Answer 1

Less rich but it works - cheaper too. :-)

Answer 2

My friend Timmy told me he and his beach bum friends did this, many years ago, and found that it worked just fine, but I have never tried it myself. What they actually did was make some blueberry muffin mix that called for milk, which they did not have. So they substituted water for milk. He has a few stories about low budget living in Hawaii. "Harvesting" bananas, and pineapples. Making "guest appearances" in restaurants, as bus boys. Walking in the open back doors of restaurants, and absconding with whatever was on the counters.  

Answer 3

Um it depends im guessing so you could also melt some butter too and use that

Answer 4

You could, but they would be a bit off.

Do you have any evaporated milk? Not sweetened-condensed, just plain evaporated?

If so, then you can use equal parts of that and water to make a usable milk.

If not, then just plain water will work. You might wanna add some honey or plain sugar, to make up for the lost sugars from the milk. Maybe 1 Tbsp of sugar.
