Ryazhenka
Baked Milk
2-1/2 quarts milk
1/4 C buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Pour milk into a large casserole dish. Bake for four to five hours, or until a golden brown crust forms on the milk. Allow to cool slightly before removing and discarding crust. The milk should be light tan in color. Continue to cool until milk reaches a temperature between 105 and 115-degrees F. Pour milk into a well-insulated thermos; stir in buttermilk. Seal thermos and store in a warm place for ten to twelve hours, or overnight. Pour milk into a sealable bottle or pitcher; store in refrigerator to chill. Milk will be somewhat thick with a taste similar to yogurt.
Note: Ryazhenka is sold commercially packaged in Russia.
