After my recent dairy failures it was with great trepidation I attempted yoghurt. Yogurt is apparently \u2018really easy\u2019 so if I couldn\u2019t get this right then I think my career in attempting to make dairy From Scratch would be well and truly over.<\/span><\/p>\n

But determined\/stupid as ever I was convinced I could at least get this one right.<\/span>
\n <\/span>
\n I have learnt the importance of preparation now, so just to be sure I read about 10 different recipes and got my ingredients the day before I attempted to make it. I checked my equipment with the diligence of a Formula One team until I was convinced my wheels wouldn\u2019t go skidding off if rain hit the track.<\/span><\/p>\n

So I was ready to go, I couldn\u2019t blame lack of research, lack of preparation, or a complex recipe.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was just me, the yogurt and a desperate hope that this would not be my latest failure in a long run of dairy flops.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

500ml Whole Milk<\/span><\/p>\n

25g Dried Milk Powder\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

3 tbsp Plain live yogurt<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Method<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Put the milk in a saucepan and whisk in the dried milk powder.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Place over a medium heat until the milk steams and bubbles appear around the edge.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Pour into a warmed mixing bowl and leave to cool until a thermometer reads 46C (or in the absence of a thermometer, dip a clean finger in and if you can leave it there for 20 seconds without undue pain it’s about right)<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Whisk in the live yogurt and cover bowl with cling film and wrap it in a clean towel and leave somewhere warm for six to eight hours (I found my was done by six hours in.)<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. When it’s thickened and looks set pour it into a clean airtight container and refrigerate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    SUCCESS!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    I made it! I know it feels a bit like congratulating a child for eating their broccoli but I had overcome my dairy curse and pulled of some pretty delicious yoghurt, which I then enjoyed with some honey and on top of a lovely hot chilli con carne.<\/span><\/p>\n

    I will admit this isn\u2019t an epic, but sometimes watching Mean Girls can be just as rewarding as Ben-Hur!<\/span><\/p>\n

    If I can do yogurt then I will one day be able to do cheese and, dare I hope, chocolate. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
