The most useful and delicious dishes are obtained with fresh milk, although the preparation of melted and condensed milk, recipes of which are popular with chefs, allows you to preserve this product without losing its taste qualities. Dairy products, cheese, butter, sour cream are made from milk, porridges, soups, pastries and sweets are prepared.
Types of Milk
The dairy industry produces pasteurized and sterilized milk. It is believed that the pasteurized product is more useful because it preserves beneficial microorganisms.
During pasteurization, the fermentation process simply slows down, therefore, the shelf life of the product is extended to 36-38 hours.
Sterilized milk differs from pasteurized milk in that it is almost completely free of microorganisms. Its shelf life is six months. Sterilized milk is good to use with tea and cocoa. The same dishes are prepared from sterilized milk that can be prepared from pasteurized milk.
What to Make From Milk?
We often cook a lot of nutritious dishes at home from pasteurized milk. Dishes such as drinks with chocolate, sugar, juices and syrups are popular. Milk can be consumed with coffee, tea. Milk recipes are also advised to use for making soups, breakfasts and various sauces. Milk is also added to confectionery and to the dough during baking.
Recipes with milk are used to make milk soups and nutritious cereal porridges. Creams, souffles, ice cream are unthinkable without milk. Milk is also needed for making casseroles, puddings, pancakes and fritters. It can be the basis for porridge or soup, dessert or sauce, baking or cocktail. There are many milk dishes for breakfast, lunch or dinner. For a good sleep, it is recommended to drink milk with honey at night.
From simple milk, you can make real treats that neither adults nor children will refuse. Milkshakes with fruit, syrup or chocolate and vanilla are a real feast of taste. There are dozens of options for coffee with milk. You can also make condensed milk at home. It is very convenient to cook condensed milk in a slow cooker, since the whole process is automated. Finally, homemade fermented milk products, such as homemade yogurt, are much tastier than store-bought ones.
What to Cook From Sour Milk?
Milk is a perishable product. But sour milk is also usable, so many are interested in what to cook from sour milk. First of all, these are various flour products. Recipes for pancakes and pies are at your service. Sour milk makes the dough lush. There is also a vegetable salad or a vegetable snack, in which sour milk can also be used.

Brazilian cheese bread (Pao de Queijo) originated from African slaves who worked in the mining industry in Brazil. Common flour in that region was a rarity (and a luxury), so the local population began to work with cassava root. However, the product obtained from it is something between flour and starch (and closer to the second). There was no cheese then either, they did without it. But over time, life has improved, the number of products has increased and now Pao de Queijo is the business card of Brazil.
For pumpkin lovers, I offer a recipe for a wonderful pumpkin pancake cake. The pancakes are very tender and flavorful. I added cinnamon and nutmeg. And I also decided to make pancakes with a cake with cottage cheese and butter cream. It turned out very tasty.

The other day I went to the vegetable store, and taaaam such an aroma of late autumn apples, like in an Apple orchard! This fragrance turned my head, I really wanted Apple pies, but I didn’t have time to do them, so I got an improvisation on the theme…
Today I will make cutlets according to an ancient recipe that I was taught for the first time in my life. But I will make some changes to this recipe. I will describe the original recipe and today’s one. If you are interested, please come in. Cutlets are very tasty, meat and juicy.
Carrot cupcakes are good all year round, but right now carrots are the sweetest and juiciest, so I suggest that you do not delay the preparation of this wonderful dessert for a minute! The cake turns out very tasty-moist (but not wet!), soft, tender, moderately sweet… This is the most that neither is a Brazilian recipe, moreover, it is already a classic of modern Brazilian baking. The dough for it is prepared in a very ordinary blender, which is very convenient. As the Brazilians say- ” Misturou, está pronto!” (“mixed and done!”). And Bolo de cenoura is unthinkable without chocolate icing, so do not exclude it, especially since it differs from the usual options.
Terrine made from classic very thin pancakes with milk without adding soda and baking powder. In the filling, I took local apples and zucchini, cooked on cream with cinnamon and vanilla. Terrine covered it with milk chocolate and cocoa.
