Homemade Cottage Cheese Recipe (Творог в домашних условиях)!

Описание: Making cottage cheese at home is easier than you think! It's fresh, healthy, and perfect for the whole family—especially kids. With just a few simple steps, you can create a delicious and nutritious treat everyone will love!

Ingredients:
Milk (room temperature if possible)
Kefir (about 10-12 tablespoons of kefir for 4 litres of milk)

Preparation:
1. Pour milk into a glass bowl. Add the kefir to the milk and mix.
2. Allow the mixture to ferment at room temperature for 1-2 days until the milk turns into kefir.
3. Place the bowl in the microwave for 7-10 minutes. Keep an eye on it—when a light greenish liquid (whey) appears, the cottage cheese is nearly ready.
4. Let it cool slightly. Then strain the mixture through a colander lined with cheesecloth to separate the whey from the cottage cheese.
5. Leave it to drain overnight. By morning, your cottage cheese will be ready.
Serving Suggestions:
For a creamy version, mix a portion of the cottage cheese with sour cream, milk, and sugar.
Use it to make syrniki (Russian cottage cheese pancakes) for kids.

Don't discard the whey! This nutrient-rich byproduct can be used in many recipes, such as pancakes, blinchiki, or even bread dough. Its slight tang enhances the flavor and texture, making your dishes extra special. Save it for your next cooking adventure!
