What it is
Partially skimmed milk is cow's milk that has had some of its butterfat removed. It typically contains between 1% and 2% butterfat. This process is done to reduce the fat content while retaining most of the milk's other nutrients.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use partially skimmed milk as a liquid base in a wide variety of products. It contributes moisture, protein, and a mild dairy flavor. It is commonly found in baked goods like cakes and cookies, as well as in puddings and custards.
