Steps to make homemade curd:
STEP 1
Before you start heating the milk to make the curd, it is important to know that you need to have a kitchen thermometer because knowing the temperature of the milk is essential for the type of rennet you have purchased:
- If you have bought the rennet at the pharmacy, you have to put the sheep's milk in a saucepan and heat it on the stove until it reaches 37-38ºC.
- If you have bought the rennet in the supermarket, you have to put the sheep's milk in a saucepan and heat it until it reaches 50-55ºC.
STEP 2
Prepare 4 ceramic bowls or jars and put 3 drops of liquid rennet in each one. It is one drop for every 50ml of milk.
STEP 3
Pour the milk at room temperature into each jar and let it set without stirring. It takes approximately 10 minutes.
STEP 4
Once it has set, put the curds in the refrigerator.
STEP 5
Enjoy your cuajada. You can add honey, agave syrup or nuts to enhance the flavour.
The importance of a good container for curds
It is important to serve the curd in a traditional container, such as a ceramic one. Ceramic gives it an exclusive and familiar touch, which will make your family, friends and guests feel as if they were at home.
