Remove the water and fat and you get nonfat milk powder—what is essentially pure milk solids. The very same milk solids that play a starring role in brown butter.

“So when you add the water back, it’s the same great taste, same great nutrition that you get with a regular amount of milk.” I tried the Raisin Bran Crunch bowl, provided by Kellogg’s.

The milk solids char beautifully, creating picture-perfect grill marks and a robust smokiness. Or, use the powder to create a cheesy sauce for pasta , no cheese needed.
