Any Cooks/Chefs on BHW?

[SpellZ]

So I need to make a lot of waffles for this weekend (people coming over and such).

I'm fine with most of the ingredients, except the milk.

Reason for that is because after doing 50+ waffles, milk will add a nice dent in the budget. Can I substite milk for something else? and if I can, will it lose the flavour/quality?

I'm a prep cook, But I'm the last person you would want to take cooking advice from!

Waffles without milk isn't the same. The taste is gone if you avoid milk. I can't think of a better alternative.
Soy Milk?

LOL.

I guess I need to find wholesale milk.

Im a cook, by name and by hobby! Anyways lol, since you are just using it to cook with, use powdered milk. You will get a whole lot more for your money, and it won't affect the taste any.

I concur. That would be the best idea.

The powdered milk is not that good. Although it's easy on your pocket, but doesn't have same taste. As they say, "for getting something, you have to sacrifice another".

I never tried the powederd milk.

Big difference in taste?

I heard 1/3 cup of powdered milk, and 1 full cup of water, to make 1 glass of milk.

ALSO.

Since milk is 89% water
Can I just do....

(instead of 2 glasses of milk)
2 glasses of water, with a big of butter (for cream-ness), and maybe an egg on top of it for the protein and stuff?

Yes, but the taste is only really a noticable change if you drink it straight. If you use it to cook, it doesnt change anything

I would go with evaporated before I went with powdered. If you use evaporated milk as a whole milk substitute, you have to add equal parts can of evap milk/can of water. With that said, I wouldn't skimp for company. I am an avid cook and baker, and create my own recipes. You should stick with the milk, or make something else. Are you doing a breakfast or a brunch? Why don't you make crepes? Very easy. Just swish in the bottom of a frying pan, flip and you're done. Then fill with whatever you prefer. It will be a lot less milk used and cheaper than waffles. 2 cups of flour and 2 cups of milk are only going to yield you maybe 8 smaller waffles, or 4 big waffles.
