HOMEMADE COTTAGE CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat the milk to 190F.
• You will need a thermometer for other cheeses but you can get by here turning off the heat just before the milk begins to boil.
• Add the vinegar and allow the mixture to cool.
• When cool, pour the mixture, which now consists of curds and whey into a colander and drain off the whey.
• Pour the curds into a bowl and sprinkle on the salt and mix well.
• You may wish to use less salt or more, depending on your taste.
• A little cream could also be added, for a more silky variation.
• Now the best part, enjoy fresh or use in a cooked dish such as a lasagna!

QUICK COTTAGE CHEESE

Steps:

• Pour the skim milk into a large saucepan and place over medium heat. Heat to 120 degrees F. Remove from the heat and gently pour in the vinegar. Stir slowly for 1 to 2 minutes. The curd will separate from the whey. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into a colander lined with a tea towel and allow to sit and drain for 5 minutes. Gather up the edges of the cloth and rinse under cold water for 3 to 5 minutes or until the curd is completely cooled, squeezing and moving the mixture the whole time. Once cooled, squeeze as dry as possible and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the salt and stir to combine, breaking up the curd into bite-size pieces as you go. If ready to serve immediately, stir in the half-and-half or heavy cream. If not, transfer to a sealable container and place in the refrigerator. Add the half and half or heavy cream just prior to serving.

COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, oil, and eggs to create a batter. The batter will be lumpy from the cottage cheese, but that's the texture that's needed.
• In a separate bowl, add the baking soda to the flour.
• Sift the flour mixture over the cheese and egg batter and whisk thoroughly until there are no flour lumps. The batter is ready when it is light and frothy with bubbles on the surface. Set aside.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add some butter to sufficiently grease the pan and drop 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan.
• Cook on one side for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles are forming on the surface.
• Flip over and cook for a further 3 minutes. If the skillet is large enough, you can make two or three at the same time. Remove from the pan and wrap in a tea cloth to keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining butter and pancake batter.
• Serve your pancakes warm with your favorite sides.
• Enjoy!
