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. 🙃

Happy Cooks Speak Up

"Thank you so much! My yogurt failed, and this post was exactly what I was hoping to find."--JULIE B.


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

Easter always sneaks up on me. I know many of you are gardeners and are already planting—or at least planning what to plant next. Here in North Texas, we’ve had a warmer-than-usual spring, so I want to be outside instead of in my kitchen. Even pulling weeds with the weed popper my husband bought on a whim feels rewarding when you’re not sweating. But Easter is only one week away. Time to plan a menu. I pulled together a few favorites from my kitchen that work especially well this time of...

Do you like avocados? I eat half an avocado every single day for lunch at home using my recipe for Bread Machine Classic Sourdough Bread or this Sourdough Bread Machine Sandwich Loaf as a base. The challenge is saving the other half for the next day. Cut avocados can turn brown in what feels like a terrifying minute! I've tried: Plastic wrap pressed against the flesh (didn’t work well) A small avocado-shaped plastic container 👎🏻 Storing the half avocado in water in a Mason jar (works OK, but...

Hi Friends, If you’re shopping for a bread machine—or wondering why your pan looks worn—here’s a quick behind-the-scenes look at something most manufacturers never talk about: the nonstick coating. ⭐ Almost All Bread Machine Pans Are Coated Whether it’s called PTFE, Teflon, or “nonstick,” nearly every bread machine pan uses a slick coating so the paddles can knead without the dough grabbing onto the sides. Uncoated pans simply don’t release well enough for bread dough. ⭐ Is It Safe? Bread...
