10 Ways To Use Expired Milk (2 of 6)

2. Make Pancakes or Waffles

Pancakes, waffles, crepes, and French toast batter all use a surprising amount of milk. They’re ideal when the milk has just passed its tentative expiration date and needs to be finished soon. The best part of this lifehack is that you can make a large batch and freeze the cooked extras. By using this method, you save milk, reduce food waste, and provide yourself with an easy breakfast for the future. That’s just an optimal way to do things no matter how you spin it.

3. Turn It Into Creamy Soup

Potato soup is the unbeatable champ when it comes to simplicity and milk usage, but if you’re not a big fan, you can also cook some corn chowder, broccoli soup, mushroom soup, or one of many other creamy vegetable soups. Add the milk gradually and avoid blasting it over high heat, since dairy can scorch or separate. This is one of the best options when you need to use several cups at once.
