Recipe Introduction
Tastes like Ricotta or cream cheese and may be use in any
recipe calling for either.
List of Ingredients
1/4 Rennet tablet (Junket), available in most grocery stores
near the gelatin section. It is the enzyme, Rennin.
2 quarts warm water
5 1/3 cups instant powdered milk (or 3 cups non-instant dry
milk)
1/2 cup buttermilk
Recipe
Dissolve Rennet tablet in warm water. Add instant powdered
milk and mix well. Add buttermilk and mix well. Cover and
keep at room temperature until set (about 5-10 hours). Pour
into cheesecloth covered strainer, close the cheesecloth,
and squeeze out as much whey as possible. The whey may be
saved for use in bread. Place the cheese in the refrigerator
until well chilled (usually overnight). Knead cheese until
the texture is smooth. Cheese will freeze well for up to 6
months. (Makes about 1 lb.)
