Yogurt with apricot jam



I like to make my own yogurt at home, It 's very easy and gives me control over what ingredients I like to do or do not.

Yogurt with apricot jam



My yogurt is made by an electric yogurt maker, but you can also make it without using the machine if not having it.

Basic yogurt recipe:

5 cups of whole milk
1 cup of yogurt
4 tblspoons of milk powder

What I add:
4 tblspoons of sugar
vanilla flavor
apricot jam

Add yogurt to milk and mix it with milk powder, vanilla flavor and sugar.
Put one tblspoon of apricot jam into each yogurt container and add the mixture milk-yogurt.
Place the covered containers into the heating base. Cover the yogurt maker and process for 10 hours.
After processing, place the containers in the refrigirator 4 hours to thicken. Keep yogurt refrigerated until use.

Good tasting

Lemon curd pudding by Jamie Oliver



This is a lovely lemon curd pud, very easy to make



Ingredients:

• 55g butter
• 115g sugar (vanilla sugar is nice)
• grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
• 2 large eggs, separated
• 55g self-raising flour
• 285ml milk



Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Cream the butter, sugar and lemon rind in a mixing bowl. Add the egg yolks and flour and beat in, then add the milk and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and mix well.

Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff, then add the rest of the mixture. Mix it all well but don't over-mix it; you don't want the air to come out of the egg whites. Pour into a buttered ovenproof dish, stand the dish in a roasting tin about a third full of water



then bake in your preheated oven for about 45 minutes until the top is set and spongy and it's a nice golden colour.










Very delicious
