To make Mock Cheddar Cheese
- Mix in a blender using the pulse button (or it will overflow):
- 4 c. water
- 3 c. non-instant dry milk powder
- 1/3 c. oil
- Spray a large saucepan with oil and pre-heat the pan.
- Pour the milk mixture into the hot pan and immediately pour in 1 ¾ c. vinegar.
- Heat the milk mixture to 115 F., stirring gently while curds form.
- Pour the curds into a strainer in the sink and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Pour the curds into a bowl and add:
- 1 tsp. salt
- 6 tbs. cheddar cheese powder
- Mix well with your hands.
- Press the curds together into a ball, set in a square of cloth, tie with string, and hang for 15 minutes.
- Wrap in plastic wrap.
(You can omit the cheddar cheese powder to make a quick mozzarella, but it will be a little rubbery and have a vinegar flavor.)
