Pour lowfat milk mix over dry ingredients and mix till just combined. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let sit in a hot place for about an hour or possibly till the mix is bubbly and has expanded by about a third.

  5. To prepare Smoked Salmon and Lowfat sour cream Dressing: In a small bowl, combine salmon, orange juice and peel; set aside.

  8. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Arrange on serving platter garnished with extra dill sprigs. Serve hot or possibly at room temperature.
