Ostkaka (Swidish Cheese Cake)

By Dustin

4 quarts raw whole milk
3/4 cup Flour
1/2 Rennet
3 Eggs; beaten
1 cup Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup almond slivers

Ingredients

• 4 quarts raw whole milk
• 3/4 cup Flour
• 1/2 Rennet tablet
• 3 Eggs; beaten
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 cup almond slivers

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the 1/3 cup of milk to lukewarm. Add the rennet tablet to this to dissolve. Heat the whole milk to 100 degrees F. Mix the flour with the remaining 2 cups of milk to form a paste. Add the "paste" to the heated whole milk. Then add the milk (in which the rennet has dissolved) to the heated whole milk. Stir until the milk begins to curdle. Set aside until it forms firm curds, and then drain off 2 quarts of whey.

Beat the eggs and add the sugar and almonds. Add this mixture to the curds, and stir. Pour the entire mix into a pan and bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes. Then lower the temperature and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.

Serve topped with lingonberries or with "kram".
