Evaporated milk yogurt recipe please
« on: February 06, 2011, 12:55:37 pm »
When my kids were young I had an electric yoghurt maker and used to make fantastic creamy yoghurt with evaporated milk. I'm about to be given a new electric yoghurt maker (the sort with little glass jars) but can't for the life of me remember the recipe/quantities I used. Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Hi,

I'm using a yogurt maker with just the one container and use a large tin of evap + a tin full of water + two heaped teaspoons of natural yogurt as starter.  Have used yeo and onken, both worked, but don't use set - that was rubbish.
Makes about a litre and usually ends up quite thick and yummy!  Presumably you could divide it between several small pots instead of using one large one?  Hope this helps.

Thanks. That's what I thought I remembered - and no boiling, right? Will give it a go. Thanks again.

Yes, that's what we used to do, and it always worked fine.  Must see if I can get hold of a yoghurt maker now!!  :)

I'm using that as well and its fine, quite basic and simple.  My one niggle with it was that it doesn't have a timer on it and, pedant that I am, I tried and failed to do 8 hours exactly.  However since we had no ill effects I have come to the conclusion its not THAT critical!  We use it overnight - is about the right length of time and get cheap electricity too.  You could plug it into a timer switch, though, if you did want it to start and stop at particular times.

Right, thanks for the help.. Have now made it using 1 can evap milk. 1 can water, couple of tablespoons of yogurt and it was yummy- thick and creamy without much whey on the top. The yoghurt maker i'm using is a Severin with seven (don't know why seven) small jars and you can get extra jars easily. It's about £20 and I know Amazon and I think Argos do it. I prefer it to the jug method as you can take a jar out with you (screw top) and the quanity described above fills each jar to 3/4 leaving room for fruit etc and hopefully honey if my bees perform this year.
