posted by Sisko 05-11-101 12:55 AM
From a Finnish cookbook called Finland - Nature's table
Home-Made Cheese
5 litres milk
1,7 litres sour milk
5 eggs
(1 decilitre chopped fresh herbs or
to taste e.g: chopped nuts, ground pepper, diced bell pepper, chopped mint, parsley or garlic)
Warm the milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until it reaches 80°C.
Mix the sour milk with the eggs.
Pour the mixture into the milk and stir carefully.
When the cheese begins to thicken, sprinkle the herbs or seasonings on top. Stir lightly into the cheese. Remove from the heat, cover witha lid and allow to stand for 20 minutes.
Lift the cheese curd with a slotted spoon into a cheese mould or a sieve lined with a damp cheesecloth. Put a weight on top and allow to drain overnight. Then turn out of the mould.
The whey could be used in a bread dough.
