Directions:
Directions:
Stove top Cooking Method
Beat eggs. Add milk, salt, (and if using) sugar and vanilla and beat well.
Cook in double boiler, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns to curds and “white water” appears. Cook the mixture for a few minutes after the white water appears. Be careful not to allow the mixture to scorch.
Pour the mixture into a strainer lined with a cheesecloth or a porous kitchen towel. Squeeze out the liquid, being careful not to burn yourself.
Tie the cloth tight and hang it in a place where it can drip dry. (Some use a kitchen faucet for this purpose, others use a wooden spoon placed across the top of a pot.
Allow the hrudka to cool, squeezing it a few more times to really squeeze the water out of it.
Allow it to hang to set for 3 to 4 hours, unwrap from cloth.
Store well wrapped in the refrigerator.
