I think in canada there are no powdered filled milk. I’ve seen powdered skimmed milk only. where do u buy powdered milk. is that baby milk?
@jocelyn,
All powdered milk sold in the Philippines are imported because as far as I know we don’t have a dairy plant to manufacture milk or milk products. So I think in Canada there are plenty of powdered milk sold. Anyway the recipe is not baby milk and you can use skimmed milk for the pastillas.
can i use other fruits?..
