Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Quark Cheese.
Step 1
To start your delicious homemade buttermilk, pour the milk into a saucepan and warm it over medium heat until it begins to simmer gently.
Step 2
Once you see those little bubbles forming, take the saucepan off the heat and let the milk cool down to room temperature—this is an important step, so be patient! When the milk has cooled, grab a whisk and blend in the buttermilk until everything is nicely combined.
Step 3
Now, cover your mixture and let it sit at room temperature for about 8 hours or even overnight.
Step 4
This resting period is where the magic happens, allowing the mixture to thicken beautifully.
Step 5
After it has rested, it’s time to strain! Place a cheesecloth over a bowl and pour your mixture through it, letting the liquid filter through while the solids remain behind.
Step 6
For an even thicker consistency, pop the strained mixture into the refrigerator for another 8 hours or overnight.
Step 7
And there you have it—your very own homemade buttermilk, ready to elevate your recipes! Enjoy the satisfaction of creating something delicious from scratch!.
