I'm going to look for 'farmer's cheese', but don't think I've ever seen it. What is it like? Ricotta? Cream cheese? Cottage?
|
The type of Farmer's cheese I buy (Friendship brand) is similar in texture to fresh mozzarella. I never tried softening it like you would cream cheese so I don't know if it would work in this recipe.
Farmer cheese is also very easy to make. It is very common in Lithuanian (me) & Polish (DH) kitchens. Here's a recipe for homemade Farmer's cheese but make sure you read the reviews for some very helpful hints & tips. The homemade Farmer's cheese is soft similar in texture & taste to ricotta. :) p.s. as the homemade cheese only lasts about a week, I make a half batch of this recipe. |
Have you ever tried it with 2% milk? I'm hesitant to make something with this much fat though the recipe is very tempting.
|
I make mine with 2% milk. Of course whole milk is tastier. Tried it with fat free milk and it didn't really come out well. Haven't tried 1%...don't know why. Make sure the milk is regular milk and not ultra-pasteurized...it will never work.
One of the reviews suggests using buttermilk. I've been meaning to try that but haven't yet. ETA: It took me several tries before it came out how I like. My biggest mistake was not heating the milk enough (the drained whey should be yellowish not white-ish). What I eventually also learned is that if it doesn't curdle/set up enough when draining you can dump the whole thing back into the pot & try again. The cheese can also be pressed if you want a more solid cheese. It's tasty both ways. :) |
Chelby, I buy Friendship brand like Cyndi. It's like a mix between cream cheese and cottage cheese. If you can't find it, I'd try mixing half 1/3 less fat cream cheese and 1% cottage cheese. :shrug:
You might also look online for {replacement and "farmer's cheese"} (without brackets). :) |

Loriann, if you are going to make Farmer's Cheese from scratch, one of the ingredients is milk, and that's what Cyndi is referring to.
|
Do you think these would be good the next day? Or is it something that needs to be eaten right afterwards?
I tend to try to cook in batches and make up as much as possible on the weekend so I have plenty of options through the week. If I find milk on sale, I'll make some of the farmers cheese. It sounds interesting. Thanks Sarah in MD |

Hi, this is regarding the farmer's cheese recipe. I was reading the recipe on how to make farmer's cheese, it seems to be PANEER which can be found in Indian grocery stores in the frozen section.
