At the peak of milking season, there is so much milk that you can't use it fast enough. You probably planned on making yogurt or cheese, but just didn't have the time. And now some of the jars of milk are starting to sour. Good news! That sour milk can still be used (usually within a week, before it gets nauseatingly smelly).
What to use sour milk* in?:
- Baking!: Sour milk helps make baked goods fluffy. It has a chemical reaction with baking soda.
- Spice cake
- Pancakes
- Breads
- Gardening
- Don't use too much, but the sour milk can be used to add calcium to your plants.
- Animals
- Chickens and pigs love sour milk, just don't give to goats as it can upset their stomachs.
These are just some ideas, I have heard others but have never tried them. An example would be flushing the sour milk down the toilet to help with a septic tank. I never tried this because there have been good and bad reports about doing this.
*Please use pasteurized milk that has soured; unpasteurized milk could have diseases/ the same risks as raw milk.
