Only in chocolate milk, what Dad used to call “a malted.” I’m not sure if you can even get them at diners anymore, and ice cream parlors are as extinct as the dinosaurs.I had some amazing pancakes at a friends house recently and she added some malt powder to the recipe. Intriguing.

Anyone remember Ovaltine? That was a chocolate malt drink, right? Do they even still make Ovaltine?
I bake with it sometimes - and usually add it to pancakes or cookies. Not so much in cakes. Recipes with maltose in them brown better, so you get nice color without overcooking them.
It also adds a depth to the flavor that leaves people with an "I don't know what that is, but I like it" taste.
Stella Parks (Bravetart from Serious Eats) uses it a lot.

Ovaltine contains other ingredients besides malt.
KA sells diastatic malt powder for bread, and bills it as an ingredient to promote a strong rise in bread, especially with whole wheat flour.

I tried it with DO bread using KA bread flour. I made two small loaves, side by side. I couldn't tell any difference. I might try the same with baguettes to see if there is any difference.
Nope, it was KA bread flour, as I mentioned.Were you using whole wheat flour?
I didn't have any idea whether or not KA sells whole wheat bread flour.Nope, it was KA bread flour, as I mentioned.
They don't, but you can combine bread flour with whole-wheat flour to get the benefits of both.I didn't have any idea whether or not KA sells whole wheat bread flour.
