I have a recipe that calls for 3 tablespoons of non fat dry milk. Upon searching for this at the grocery store I discovered that the smallest box of dry milk I can buy costs about 7 bucks. It seems kinda silly to me to buy a 7 dollar box of dry milk just to get 3 tablespoons out of it, since my husband and I will probably not use it after that. I would like to substitute liquid nonfat milk but I'm not sure if I would still use 3 tablespoons or not. Does anyone know?

Actually, 3 tablespoons of Nestle Carnation Instant Nonfat Dry Milk will make approximately 1/2 cup of reconstituted milk. You add 1/3 cup powdered dry milk (5-1/3 tablespoons) to a measuring cup and add enough water to make 8 ounces. So that would be 2-2/3 tablespoons added to enough water to make half a cup.
So you would want to reduce the other liquid in your recipe by about 1/2 cup to make up for the extra liquid you'll have if you use liquid nonfat milk.

No, you can't do it that way. You need to substitute for any liquids as well, subtracting the appropriate amount.
3 tablespoons of dry milk needs about 1 cup of water added to it to make regular milk, so about a cup of water needs to be subtracted from your recipe along with the dry milk if you are going to substitute liquid milk it it's place.
If your recipe doesn't have a cup of water or a little less as one of it's ingredients, then you can't substitute the liquid milk for the dry milk. Even if the recipe does call for enough water so that you can make a substitution, the manner in which the ingredients are added in a recipe matter. So if the water and the dry milk weren't supposed to be added at the same time, then the final product might not turn out correctly, either not at all or not as well. Since I don't know the recipe, I can't help you out with that.

Use the dry/powder milk for the recipe. As for the rest of the box..use it for milk baths. It is much less than buying those fancy bath salts. You can find cute little tins to package it in to give as homemade gifts.

You can use the nonfat milk for cooking, baking, so if you wanted to buy the big box then you could find a lot of uses for it.

My mom gets the dry powdered milk from commodities and she always gets more than she can use up so she gives some to me. I use it for all making cooking and baking needs and you would never know the difference.
