is malt powder the same as
dried malt extract? Our local co-op only had malted milk powder, which is not what I need I know, then in the brewing section, they have bags of dried malt extract, in varying lightness and darkness......can someone help with this one please? I asked the owner if it was diastatic or non diastatic, and he had no idea, so I pulled the KA baking book off of the shelf, and we looked up malt powder together, but he still didn't know.....
If a recipe calls for 1/4 cup, I'm assuming I need the non diastatic then? By the KA site, the diastatic is used in very small amts.
Thanks!
