List of Ingredients
1 junket tablet (this makes a larger, sweeter curd), place
in pan and dissolve in 2 quarts warm water)
Mix in:
3 C. non-instant milk powder (5 1/3 C instant)
1/2 C. buttermilk or basic yogurt
Recipe
Be sure to completely dissolve the milk. Allow to stand in a
warm place until set- about 5-10 hours. When a firm curd has
formed, cut into 1/2 inch squares and set the pan into a
sink of hot water, or heat slowly over hot water until
temperature reaches 110F. Hold at this temperature 20-30
minutes. Do not overcook or overheat. Stir gently at
frequent intervals to have hardened to the consistency you
desire, pour through a strainer or colander lined with
cheesecloth. Drain, and then run cold water through the
cheese until it is cool and well washed. Season with salt to
taste (start with 1/2 tsp) and add whole or half milk to
make as creamy as desired, chill.
