Modern Redaction


Ingredients:

600ml whole milk
juice of 2 lemons
2 egg whites
caster sugar and lemon juice to garnish

Method:

Place the milk in a bowl and add the lemon juice. Stir together and wait about two hours of the citric acid in the lemons to denature the milk proteins and precipitate the curds. Pour the curdled milk into a sieve and drain off the whey.

Transfer the remaining curds to a bowl and add the beaten whites of two eggs. Mix these in with the curds and season with a little pepper if desired. Take about two spoonfuls of the mixture and add to a frying pan greased with butter. Fry until golden brown and turn over to fry the other side. Transfer to a plate and keep on frying until all the mixture has gone. Dust with sugar and squeeze the lemon juice over this and serve.
