Dear Cath - Sunday 1st March 2015
Q. Hi, I have tried the MOO yogurt recipe a couple of times but after 12 hours it is still runny. I am using skim milk powder and two tablespoons natural yogurt and using the Easiyo yogurt maker. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do differently? Thanks. Karen, Dromana
A. It's the skim milk powder. You need to use full cream milk powder if you want a thick MOO yoghurt. Commercial "low fat" yoghurts have thickeners added to make them "thick and creamy".

Q. I am a reasonably new Member and have noticed MOO mentioned in Recipes etc. so what is MOO. It would probably be a good idea to have the Answer in Brackets after the MOO so as to help other New Members. Rose
A. Rose MOO is the acronym for Make Our Own. Simple isn't it? As Cheapskates just about everything we make is a MOO of some kind, it's not really practical to put it in brackets after the title of everything. MOO is explained throughout the website and is often explained in detail in the newsletter.

Q. Does anyone know how to make buttermilk without resorting to buying this? Annette
A. Making buttermilk is easy. Simply take a cup of milk less 1 teaspoon. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar and stir. Leave for a few minutes before using. I use this version of buttermilk in pancakes and pikelets and it works a treat every time.
