What can I make that will use up milk?

[GingerPCatt]

I bought loads of milk in my last shop since DS gets through it. But I've over estimated so I've got 6 pint that expire tomorrow. There's no way we'll get through it before it goes off. I hate wasting food. What can I make/bake that will use up the milk? Preferably easy things since I'm not a great cook. Thanks!

Rice pudding, sauces, ie cheese, white, pepper. Milkshakes. I have also poached fish in milk and made a fish pie with the milk a cheese sauce.

Freeze it/some of it?

[Sgtmajormummy]

Pancakes!

[mimolette]

Freeze the milk. Or make white sauce and freeze that in portions.

[bonzo77]

Freeze it.

[Birgitz]

Macaroni cheese

It will be fine just to drink for a good few days after the date on the carton. You don't have to throw it away!

[GingerPCatt]

Thanks for the tips. Can I just pop the whole unopened thing in the freezer? We have an open one that were using that expired yesterday but is still ok for DS and my teas.

[CuttedUpPear]

Bung the whole thing in the freezer. I do it with reduced price milk all the time.

Rice pudding. Bag of pudding rice (under a pound in the supermarket) that will make several batches after this, follow instructions on the pack - add in cinnamon if they don't say. Delicious pudding for several days and great in autumn.

Pancakes, scones, Yorkshire puds (all freeze well)

[RB68]

White sauce (bechamel for lasagne type) and cheese sauce can both be frozen. Custard is good, batter for some fish, milky coffees (well call it a Latte!!)

[RB68]

Triffle

[PuppyMonkey]

Tea

[Blondie1984]

Custard
Yoghurt
Make bread sauce for xmas and freeze

[Aquiver]

Proper hot chocolate!

I know it's not a foodstuff/baking thing, but I love a good hot choc (or Ovaltine - my secret shame)

Warmed milk (can be done on the hob or microwave) can be used up by the mugfull. It's also particularly nice given that it's all turning a bit Autumnal wet cold miserable out there...!

In my experience milk is good for several days after the use by date on the carton. We regularly drink milk that is 3 or 4 days past the date. You would know straight away if it was off. I would just carry on using it up as normal for the next few days.

I'm making cheese tomorrow using milk! Its supposed to be really good quality milk that you use but it might not matter if its normal supermarket stuff?
Ricotta

Is it whole milk? If so, yoghurt is easy and delicious - I use this recipe: www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/recipes/11322096/Homemade-yogurt-recipe.html
