Pepperoni sticks

[R Blum]

I am planing on making venison pepperoni sticks and my recipe calls for non fat dry milk which I don't have. I have fermento, citric acid, soy protein concentrate but not dry milk powder. Can I just substitute milk instead of the water?

RB, IMHO your soy protein concentrate will accomplish the same result but I'm not sure about NFM to SPC conversion for amounts. I have made plenty of venison snack sticks and used neither with a good finished product. 75% venny to 25% back fat or a 60% venny to 40% pork butt.

Here is a post from Rick on the bradley forum you might find good. I just use store bought non fat dry milk and never had a problem with it.

Snack stick moisture?

You're covered with CM's comment in post 2 . I used to use the soy isolate . You can sub the concentrate or the fermento .
Here's and old thread on the same question .
Refer to post 6 .

Nonfat dry milk vs Soy Protein Concentrate?

I'm planning to make some Brats this weekend using Legg's Old Plantation seasonings. The directions say use 12 oz nonfat dry milk. I bought some soy protein a while back and was hoping I could substitute. Would I be making a bad mistake?
