Believe it or not, some dairies routinely add extra fat sources like butter or skim milk powder to standardize their products to a specific fat percentage. While you can't perfectly replicate commercial homogenization, you can easily and safely learn how to make full cream milk from low-fat milk for your own culinary needs at home.

Whole milk has about 3.25% milkfat by weight, while 1% milk contains approximately 1% milkfat. This significant difference in fat content means that, with the right calculations, you can certainly add heavy cream to 1% milk to make whole milk, effectively creating a substitute when you run out of the real thing.
