Well I never :j it works!!

My two little ones have just polished off home made yoghurt and fruit, made from milk, a little dried milk powder and a bit 'live' yoghurt to start the process.

The correct recipe for radiator yoghurt can be found on the Channel 4 website http://www.channel4.com/food/recipes/chefs/hugh-fearnley-whittingstall/homemade-yoghurt-recipe_p_1.html

HFW is a winner yet again!

A couple of things...

I started mine off on the radiator but my rads are off overnight so wrapped it up on a hotwater bottle, fab result.

Also keep a batch of your yoghurt back to start a new batch off.

I'm endevouring never to buy yoghurt again now. Chuffed to bits

Has anyone else tried it? How did you get on? Any tips or variations of the HFW recipe?

Hiya,

Thanks for this, I was going to use the flask method, but got abit worried when I read the receipe and it called for the exact temperature, were as, on the programme he said a "warm bath"

Did you use a themometer?

delicious_2

Nope I didn't, I went by my judgement, figured I knew what 30c handwash felt like so went for lukewarm for 46c. Still worked, whether we get the lurgy I don't know but wanted to try to see if it worked and it did.

As it's worked and the girls like it I'll buy a thermometer to be sure.

Thanks, that sounds great, I think I'll give that ago. :j

I'm going to try the yoghurt today (but the thermos flask version) but I can vouch for his home-made oven chips; they're the best I've ever tried. Foolproof and delicious!

I'm not sure if you'd know, but do you think it would work with lactose free cows milk? Like arla? Does 1l milk=1l yogurt?

delicious_2

I can't help with whether it would work with lactose free but the amount of milk I had in the container was the same as when it had turned, just thicker. HTH

If you line a sieve with muslin (or a clean tea towel) and pour the yoghurt in, and leave it overnight, you get Greek yoghurt
