Steps:
- Heat milk over low heat until it reaches 180F/82C. Do this slowly and stir the milk frequently. It could take an hour or so to reach the desired temperature.
- Once the milk has reached 185F take it off the burner and let it cool to room temperature. It could take 30 minutes or so for the milk to cool. Remove any skin that has formed on the milk.
- Mix 1 cup cooled milk with the skyr and then pour back into the milk.
- Dissolve the rennet in the water and then pour into the milk.
- Cover milk with a towel and let it sit in warm place for 12 hours.
- When the whey has separated from the curd, place a clean tea towel in a colander and place that in a bowl (see photos above). Pour skyr into the colander. Tie the ends of the tea towel together and place bowl in the fridge for several hours until the whey has drained off the skyr.
- Spoon the skyr into a bowl and mix vigorously with a spoon until smooth. Add desired sweeteners, flavorings, and toppings. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Thoroughly sanitize your equipment (bowls, whisks, measuring spoon) either by rinsing it in boiling water or by removing from a hot dishwasher.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, bring milk to a slow and steady simmer over a medium-high burner, heating it until it reaches the scalding point (use a thermometer to ensure it reaches 185 F to 190 F). This will take about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Stir frequently to prevent scalding. If, toward the very end of the heating process, you notice that the milk at the bottom of the pot has begun to scald, reduce the heat to medium-low and stop stirring. A small bit of scalding is OK, but you don't want to release the scalded bits into the mixture.
- Turn burner off immediately when milk reaches scalding point. Remove from burner and allow to cool to 110 F.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of cooled milk with skyr, then return mixture to the pot, stirring to incorporate.
- Whisk liquid rennet into warm water, then stir immediately into milk (the rennet will lose its effectiveness if prepared more than 30 minutes before using).
- Cover pot with a thick towel and keep in a warm, draft-free place (an oven or an insulated cooler) for 12 hours.
- After the allotted time, curds will have formed. Spoon curds into a fine-meshed bag (nylon vegetable bags work great for this) or a double-layer of cheesecloth.
- Suspend bag over a dripping tray in a cool room or the refrigerator and allow to drain until skyr is thick.
- Serve skyr and enjoy. Skyr will keep for three or four weeks, covered, in the refrigerator.

MAKING SKYR YOGURT
Skyr, from Iceland, is really a kind of yogurt. Now, instead of having to fake it with buttermilk or other types of dairy ingredients, you can actually make it yourself easily. Why? Because it is available here in the US of A as Siggis... cost you over a buck for a small container but you can use that as the start of a great relationship with Skyr (pronounced "Skeer") Since you will need only part of the container, just freeze the rest - I use a melon ball scoop to take out portions and place each in a small plastic sandwich bag and label it and freeze it for future use. And oh yes, a yogurt maker makes it easier to make the yogurt - we have a Waring Pro Yogurt Maker we bought several weeks ago. A thermometer is really needed here - one that gets you from room temperature or below to at least the boiling point. And you should be able to tell when the temperature is below 100F, at or above 190F, and at 110F. Those temperatures are critical to most yogurt making. Also, we sometimes mix the result with a teaspoon or so of jam per serving - strawberry is good. And the resulting yogurt can be used for many, many different things. This is not your parents yogurt!

Steps:
- Safety check: yogurt cultures are a mix of bacteria developed for yogurt making. Since you will be growing bacteria, make sure it stays the good kind by remembering food safety cleanliness rules - boil all equipment or run it through your dishwasher if you can and always make sure to keep contaminated or unwashed items from touching any of the equipment, milk or cultures you are working with at all times.
- Mix the dry and liquid milk together and heat at least to 190°F Hold at that temperature for 10 minutes to give the proteins a chance to do their thing. Be careful not to ruin the batch by burning it on the bottom of the pot - you can use a double boiler if you have one.
- Cool the milk mix to at least 120°F but not below 100°F You can reheat the milk mix if it goes below 100°F.
- Put part or all of the cooked milk mix in a blender - depending on the size of your blender - with the tablespoon of Siggis (make sure you taste a bit of the Siggis if you haven't tasted it yet so you know what your results should taste like - and keep any extra in your freezer for your next batch) and blend well - 10 seconds should do it. Mix with any of the extra milk if your blender is not big enough to hold all the mixed cooked milk and Siggis.
- Pour the cooled, mixed and blended milk into 8 oz cups and place in your yogurt-maker (if you have one) and start it or put the cups in a cooler with a large bottle (quart or more) of hot water - at least 140°F Be sure the cups do not touch the water bottle. If the water is too hot, it will cook the yogurt rather than allow the yogurt culture to do it's thing.
- After 5 - 8 hours, check for firmness and if it is firm (will not jiggle if jostled), put in your fridge. Taste your new yogurt after it has had time to cool down in your fridge. (I have had yogurts firm up in as little as 3 hours and remember that the longer it continues in the yogurt maker or cooler, the more tangy your yogurt becomes.
- Please note that the "cooking time" shown here is really the culture time and it can vary from a couple-3 hours to 8 or more hours, with the temperature having the greatest effect on the length of time to complete. Too hot and it will cook - no yogurt; too cold and it will take forever/never - no yogurt. That is why we recommend a temperature controlled yogurt-maker of your own choosing.
- And the best news of all -- once you do this, you can make just about any kind of yogurt you want to - just buy either the active yogurt cultures (you can find them online) or buy a plain yogurt of the type you want with active cultures and make it according to the instructions in this recipe.
- Enjoy!

From self.com
Author Alexa TuckerPublished 2017-06-17Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
- Garlicky Yogurt Pasta With Sautéed Lentils and Chickpeas from Foxes Love Lemons. Yogurt and pasta may seem like a bizarre combo, but skyr can act as a versatile cream sauce.
- Yogurt Chicken Salad from Well Plated. Skyr definitely has mayo beat on nutrition, and the similar textures make yogurt an easy, barely noticeable switch in chicken salad.
- Yogurt Pancakes from I Am a Food Blog. That post-pancake lethargy is all too real (brunchers, you know what I mean), but adding in skyr's protein and cutting back on the sugar will help curb the crash.
- Oatmeal Cookie Overnight Oats from SELFstarter. When it comes to healthy, simple, make-ahead breakfasts, overnight oats are pretty much the ultimate. Use skyr instead of Greek yogurt for an even richer consistency and a little extra protein.
- Turmeric Yogurt Chicken from The Lean Green Bean. A yogurt marinade is one of my absolute favorite ways to prepare chicken, whether it's regular, Greek, or skyr yogurt.
- Healthy Raspberry Muffins from Cookie and Kate. These pretty muffins could be made with any fresh or frozen fruit you've got—and, speaking of, you can freeze extra muffins to thaw next time you want a grab-and-go breakfast with protein.
- Pan Roasted Salmon With Radish Raita from BS In The Kitchen. A creamy and cool radish raita adds an extra punch of protein to salmon when it's made with skyr.
- Healthier Mac and Cheese from Texanerin. I can vouch for Greek yogurt mac and cheese here, and trust me, it's pretty life-changing: It's tangy, gooey, and it skips out on the cream and butter that typically take the dish overboard on not-so-healthy fat.
- Tzatziki Sauce from Two Peas and Their Pod. Sub in skyr in this tangy tzatziki sauce to officially make Greek-Icelandic fusion a thing. Pairs well with pita, chicken souvlaki, and...
- Protein-Packed Banana Bread from Nutritionist in the Kitch. This banana bread recipe uses yogurt and protein powder to make sure it's way more satiating than your average loaf (and just as tasty).
