Add Step-by-Step Photos	Edensong / All my dishes 2 years, 8 months ago This is not your typical yogurt recipe, but I've been using it for decades and never had a bad batch. I've read so many posts about folks having troubles making yogurt when just using milk and yogurt culture. If you've been afraid to try your hand ... More Prep:15m Cook:600m Servings:6	Edensong

This looks like a recipe I can try in my yogurt maker. Sound delicious. :)

I gave my yogurt machine to my sister when I moved here, and have been missing it terribly. (Stupid voltage!) I'll have to give this one a try, though I'll probably use normal milk. Your photos look luscious!

edensong 2 years, 7 months ago said:
Well you don't need the yogurt maker with this recipe. Haven't tried it with normal milk, but I'd guess it may not come out very thick. The powdered milk definitely thickens it up.

I don't see "yogurt cultures" in the ingredient list--and what keeps it from spoiling in the oven for 10 hours! um and one more--is condensed milk necessary? what can i use instead, it's just too much sugar!

edensong 2 years, 6 months ago said:
No, chickpea, it's evaporated milk, NOT condensed milk. Yes, there's yogurt culture -- it's in the plain yogurt. :)

snowpea 2 years, 6 months ago said:
Quick question: can the gelatin be optional? Being mostly vegetarian, I try to avoid gelatin.

edensong 2 years, 6 months ago said:
You can try it, snowpea, but it's only 1/2 tsp.

I like this! We love yogurt, especially my 2-year-old, Kyle. It'll be great to make our own.

I used to make my own years ago this is different so I will start again and use your recipe.

I used to make yogurt when I was much younger and we lived in San Diego. I never had a bad bacth either. It was not this recipe, I had a machine that kept it at the right temp. iam going to try this. Its been a long time and I should get back to doing things like this. Thanks.

tuilelaith 1 year, 10 months ago said:
Okay, two questions, before I get started, is that 3 cups of powdered milk before or after reconstution. Add it there suppose to be 5 cups of water total in step 4. I want to make this tonight befor I go to bed so it can set in the oven over night.

edensong 1 year, 10 months ago said:
It's 3 cups before reconstitution. Yes, that 5 cups total water - 2 of which are warm water. You'll get the hang of it after you've made it once. Enjoy~!

I made this yesterday and it is beyond wonderful! I was curious if it would make yogurt cheese so put some in a coffee filter covered mug lsat night. In the morning, perfect cheese. I have been eating this with a couple tablespoons of flaxseed meal and a bit of honey ... tastes like a dessert! My question ... can this be used as the yogurt for the next batch or do I have to use purchased yogurt?

edensong 1 year, 10 months ago said:
I've always purchased yogurt, shimmers. I don't know why you couldn't use it though. If you try it, let us know!

ksnull 1 year, 10 months ago said:
Looks great. I'd make it tonight if I had the gelatin here. I've been looking for a yogurt recipe since that is one of my daughter's major food groups. Just curious if you've only used plain gelatin, or if you've tried it with flavored jello gelatin to create a flavored yogurt...

edensong 1 year, 10 months ago said:
I've only used the plain gelatin, ksnull.

Going to try this, been wanting to make homemade yogurt. This sounds good!

skoch 1 year, 9 months ago said:
This looks easy and delicious! Only one question: how much does a large can evaporated milk hold?

edensong 1 year, 9 months ago said:
I'm not sure, but I think it's around 8 oz. I'll have a look and let you know, skoch.

I'm wondering about fruit pectin as a substitute for gelatin.

I think the large canned milk size is 12 oz.

pointsevenout 1 year, 5 months ago said:
I'm making this tonight.

In both step #2 & #7 the instructions indicate to add honey. Is that correct? How do I divide the honey up?

What temperature do I let the gelatin cool to, in step #2?

edensong 1 year, 5 months ago said:
Hi pointsevenout,
In step #2, add 1 tablespoon of honey. In step #7, add whatever additional flavorings you'd like. When cooling the gelatin, just make sure it's down to room temp.
