Cottage Cheese

Called Smierkase by the Pennsylvania Dutch.

 

Heat 1 qt of sour milk to lukewarm. Pour into a cheesecloth bag.

Pour one quart of warm water over this, and after this has drained through, pour a second quart of warm water over and let it drain through. Pour a third quart of warm water , tie bag and let drip until the "whey is all."

Serve with either sweet or sour cream and seasonings to taste.
