Ryazhenka (Fermented Baked Milk)

An old-fashioned recipe for an incredibly delicious treat made from ordinary milk! This is how milk used to be cultured in a Russian masonry oven. I got to see it myself as a kid, visiting my grandparents in the countryside. I was very little, but I still remember the taste! Give this treat a try and see just how tender and creamy it is.

    1. Set the milk over the heat and bring it to a boil. 2. Then transfer it to an oven preheated to 210°F (100°C). 3. Let the milk slowly cook for three to four hours, until it turns creamy and forms a golden skin on top. 4. Take the milk out of the oven and let it cool to 95–105°F (36–40°C). 5. Cut the thick skin into a few pieces. 6. Stir the sour cream into a little of the milk, then pour that mixture back into the rest of the milk and stir. 7. Pour the milk into jars, adding a piece of the skin to each. 8. Cap the jars and wrap them in a blanket. Let everything culture for 4–5 hours at room temperature; the milk will thicken in that time. 9. Cap the jars and move the cultured milk to the refrigerator. Enjoy!
