BACK OF THE FRIDGE: How to use up excess milk

Milk is in the top 5 most wasted foods- about 5.9 million glasses are poured down the sink each year! Here are some ways to use up your milk:

1) Scones- there are so many variations you can try out. My particular favourite is a cheese scone! These are particularly good for when your milk is on its last legs- no one will know once they're cooked!

2) Rice Pudding- these only require 3 base ingredients; milk, sugar and rice. To make your pudding more interesting, cook with fruit (e.g. strawberries, apricots, blueberries, raspberries), serve with jam or sprinkle some flaked almonds over the top. 


3) White Sauces- A staple for many meals, whisk up a quick white sauce from milk, flour and butter and pop in the freezer. Then simply defrost and use with your lasagne, fish, macaroni cheese or cheesy potatoes!

4) Smoothies- Mango smoothie can be made with 250ml of milk, 2 mangoes and a teaspoon of honey- perfect for those warm summer evenings!

5) Pancakes- You don't have to wait until Shrove Tuesday to make pancakes! They are such an easy snack, particularly as the main ingredients are cupboard staples; milk, plain flour, eggs, vegetable oil and salt.
