Steps:
- 1. Bring milk to a slow boil. Keep the heat at medium or medium low, otherwise you risk burning the milk to the bottom of the pot.
- 2. When small, foamy bubbles begin to form on the surface of the milk, but it is not yet at a rolling boil, turn off the heat. If you have a thermometer, which is helpful, the temperature will read about 190 degrees.
- 3. Add the vinegar and stir the milk. You will notice curds immediately beginning to form. Let the milk sit for 15 minutes. After this time, add any additional flavors (like fresh herbs).
- 4. Place a colander over a large bowl or pot. Drape either cheesecloth or a thin dish towel over the colander. Pour the curds into the cheese cloth. The whey (liquid) will drain and be collected in the bowl below and the solids curds will be caught in the cheese cloth.
- 5. Lift the cheese cloth up and wrap it around the curds, twisting and squeezing to expel moisture. After squeezing out the moisture, the curds for farmer's cheese will be dry and crumbly. If you want a creamier texture, mix a little of the reserved whey back in with the curds.
- 6. To shape the cheese, keep it wrapped in cheese cloth and form it into a mound on a plate. Set another plate on top and press the curds into a flat disc that is 1-2 inches tall. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or so before removing cheese cloth.
- 7. NOTE: suggest you go easy on the salt and use a fine granualted salt, not kosher salt--the salt tends to stick to the outside. You can always adjust salt in any recipe you use this in. This makes a very great and tasty fresh cheese. It's quite delicate in flavor and not very strong,
NORTH CROATIAN FARMERS CHEESE DUMPLINGS
This is very old recipe, mostly forgotten. Today, everyone makes potato dumplings or gnocchi, but believe me, this one are much better. Even more, you can eat them as a side dish to meat and sauces, also you can eat as a full lunch and even as a dessert - you just have to put sugar and cinnamon over. You can add whatever you want, poppy seeds, and raisins, chocolate or vanilla sauce. Perfect dessert. It is also very simple with just few ingredients. Note: for vegetarians, skip lard you can use oil as well.

Steps:
- Mix well whole eggs and lard. Drain the cheese and add into eggs. Add whole semolina, mix well and leave at least two hours in refrigerator. Longer it stays in refrigerator, better dumplings.
- Heat large pot with water until it boils. Keep boiling.
- Soak your hands in cold water and make balls; Golf-ball size. Put them one after another into boiling water and cook until they start to float on the surface and than 3-5 more minutes. It really depends how hard are your dumplings (that means you have to stick to the recipe).
- To serve as a side dish to meat and sauce, fry some breadcrumbs on butter and put the dumplings into the pan, and fry with breadcrumbs just to stick it to the dumplings. Serve warm.

FANNIE FARMERS CLASSIC BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook and drain macaroni according to package directions; set aside. In a large saucepan melt butter. Add flour mixed with salt and pepper, using a whisk to stir until well blended. Pour milk and cream in gradually; stirring constantly. Bring to boiling point and boil 2 minutes (stirring constantly). Reduce heat and cook (stirring constantly) 10 minutes. Add shredded cheddar little by little and simmer an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese melts. Turn off flame. Add macaroni to the saucepan and toss to coat with the cheese sauce. Transfer macaroni to a buttered baking dish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Bake 20 minutes until the top is golden brown. You can also freeze this recipe in zip-lock bags for later use-once you have mixed the macaroni along with the cheese sauce allow to cool to room temperature before adding to your freezer-I generally pull it out the night before and allow macaroni and cheese to reach room temperature; I then add the macaroni and cheese to a buttered baking dish, sprinkle with bread crumbs and then bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until golden brown on top and bubbling.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Milk: Opt for fresh, whole milk for a richer flavor and texture in your farmer's cheese.
- Control the Temperature: Maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cheesemaking process. Gradual heating and cooling prevent curdling.
- Use a Gentle Touch: Handle the curds gently to avoid breaking them. Over-handling can result in a grainy texture.
- Proper Drainage: Allow the whey to drain completely from the curds. Insufficient drainage can lead to a watery texture.
- Season to Taste: Experiment with different herbs, spices, or seasonings to create various flavored farmer's cheese variations.
