Home made Yogurt
Beth Kohnen


In blender put two cups any powdered milk, 2 cups 'real' milk (I use low fat), and 2-3 tablespoons yogurt. (I use any plain store-yogurt or a bit from my last batch. Even Yoplait works.) Blend up, put in gallon jug. Fill to top with low fat milk (any milk'll do) at any temperature. Straight from the fridge works fine. Stir to mix. Put lid on jar and put in cold oven with a 60 watt bulb either screwed into your oven light or plugged into the wall on a cord long enough to reach into the oven. Close the oven door. Leave overnight with light on. In the morning gently poke jar to see that milk has thickened. If not, leave for another hour, test again. When set move gently to the fridge. Dont stir till it chills.

This is a good solid thick yogurt. Thickness depends on amount of powdered milk you add. The 'tang' depends on how long you leave it in the oven after it sets. I got this recipe from an old Adelle Davis cookbook years ago and use it all the time for the whole fam.
