What To Do If Your Yogurt Fails, Greek Yogurt, Lemon, and Poppyseed Scones, Incubation Survey Results


Many of you are really passionate about making homemade yogurt, and I completely understand why.

It's wonderful to be able to create yogurt just the way you like it.

As promised, here are the percentages for how long you incubate your yogurt. (If you missed that newsletter, you can see all of my old newsletters under the Welcome drop-down tab at the top of my website or click here.)

  • Three hours or less: 2%
  • 4-5 hours: 9%
  • 6-8 hours: 26%
  • Overnight:14%
  • 9-11 hours: 28%
  • 12+ hours: 21%

I'm not a statistician, but I have some informal observations:

  1. Yogurt maker users generally reported shorter incubation times.
  2. Instant Pot users typically noted longer incubation periods.
  3. If your yogurt turns out too sour, consider reducing the incubation time.

When your milk doesn't make yogurt:

Nearly everyone has had a yogurt-making mishap, myself included. Bookmark this post for guidance the next time it happens. I offer suggestions on what to do next, including tips for salvaging the milk, even if the issue is user forgetfulness. 🙃

Even if you're not into making yogurt...

Try this fantastic recipe for Greek Yogurt Scones with Lemon and Poppy Seeds, which you can conveniently bake straight from the freezer. Remember, incorporating yogurt into any recipe boosts its protein content.

Happy Bakers Speak Up

"These are delicious scones! The lemon flavor is just right. I did add a bit more sugar (1/3 cup) because my husband likes his scones sweet. Great recipe! Thank you."--JOCELYN

Hi Friends, The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday and an excuse to share homemade food with others. Even if you aren't celebrating a holiday, you likely find yourself cooking or baking for others, bringing joy and connection through your efforts. Recently, I was inspired by Trevor J. Wilson's book Open Crumb Mastery. It's not for beginners, and it's not a cookbook. But if you...

I love summer and celebrating with family. It's the best time for homemade hamburger buns, ice cream, and watermelon. This week, there is something for everybody--hamburger buns for the bread makers, creme fraiche ice cream for the yogurt makers, and espresso (or coffee) ice cream for coffee lovers. If you like watermelon like I do, check out this post for "How To Pick the Perfect Watermelon" by Rachel Teodoro. Her method works better for me than thumping. Bread Machine Hamburger Buns These...

Hello Friends, I hope your summer (or winter, to my southern hemisphere friends) is off to a good start. After taking a break and a nice vacation, I came home with a rip-roaring case of acute bronchitis. This isn't my first go-around with the stuff, but it's been a while, and I forgot how long it takes to get over the coughing. Thankfully, I'm on the mend. Reader Question: Can I substitute oil for butter in a yeast bread recipe? Substitutions can be challenging. Since I can't test for every...
