Very Little Curd When Making Fromage Blanc
Posted: Tue Jun 12, 2012 1:37 pm
Hi. I had a go at making fromage blanc a few weeks ago from a recipe here, but ended up with very little curd (maybe a couple of millimetres) in the bottom of the bowl.
This is the first opportunity I've had to make a post. I seem to have since misplaced the recipe, but I do remember that as I didn't want loads of cheese, I halved the recipe to four pints of whole milk and used buttermilk as a starter (also halving the amount used).
When scaling recipes up or down, should you scale everything in the recipe, or is it more complicated than that?
Having looked again at the recipes here, I can find no mention of how much buttermilk to use. Can anyone advise?
