There have been stories about artificially grown meat, but I wonder if we can artificially produce animal milk as well.
Non-animal whey is already a thing you can get in products in stores today! Perfect Day is the main company I am aware of doing that. They use precision fermentation to do so. https://perfectday.com/made-with-perfect-day/
There are also groups working to do non-animal casein which is the protein in dairy-based cheeses that gives cheese most of its important replicate properties
Or you can also just go with other plant milks like oat milk, pea milk, soy milk, etc. Some types like pea-based plant milks emulate dairy milk better than others if that is what you are looking for
Do any of these work as substitutes in baking recipes or batters?
Yup. We have several-hundred-year-old medieval French recipes specifying 'the juice of the almond' if cow milk is not available.
Juice of the almond, as opposed to juice of the cow. I love it.
