Directions: |
Directions:Fill pan with water and put over medium heat.
Fill clean sterilized mason jar with milk and place in pan of water. A piece of fabric can be put under jar to minimize rattle. Scald milk (temperature will be 185º)
Place the milk in the fridge for 30 minutes. Stir and check until temperature is between 105º - 112º.
Add 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk which will add nutritional content and it will thicken your yogurt. Be sure to stir it in thoroughly. Add the starter (You can purchase starter from a health food store or just add about 2 lg. Tbsp. plain yogurt). Next time you make yogurt you can just add two tablespoons from your previous batch.
INCUBATE YOGURT: Put lid on mason jar, wrap it in a hand towel and then wrap it in the electric heating pad set on low. Make sure to tie something around the heating pad so it stays firmly around the jar. Keep temperature between 105º - 112º degrees; a cooler temperature will make sweeter yogurt, a warmer temperature makes a more tart yogurt.
Keep warm for 4 to 5 hours and then place in the fridge. |
