Skyr

Cultural Context

It is a staple in Icelandic cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or breakfast item, celebrated for its creamy texture and high protein content. In recent years, skyr has gained popularity worldwide as a healthy yogurt alternative, often found in various flavors and styles in grocery stores.

1

Heat non-homogenized milk in a pot on medium low until it bubbles up, around 180°F.

2

Let the milk cool down to around 110°F, using the fridge to speed up the process if needed.

3

Skim off the top layer that forms on the surface of the milk.

4

Add half a container of Siggies Skier culture to a gallon of warm milk and whisk to combine.

5

Cover the pot and place it in an oven with the pilot light on to keep warm overnight for 8 to 10 hours.

6

Check if the yogurt has set by leaning it over; it should be thickened and together.

7

Prepare to strain the yogurt using strainers and flower sack towels over deep pots or containers.

8

Scoop the yogurt into the flower sack towel, ensuring it is on a waterproof surface to catch the whey.

9

Cover the yogurt with plates and another flower sack towel, tying it to keep critters out.

10

Let the yogurt strain for about 8 hours.

11

Once strained, transfer the yogurt to a large bowl and use an electronic whisk or stand mixer to whip until creamy.

12

Store the whipped yogurt in a glass container with a wide opening in the fridge before enjoying it.
