Recipe using sour milk?

I've got about a half-gallon of milk that has gone sour (a week past the due date). Can I use it in something, or do I need to throw it out?

    Z,

    Here is a recipe for a cake so delicious that people have been known to _purposely_ let their milk sour so that they can bake it:

    CHOCOLATE DEVIL’S FOOD CAKE

    • 2 C flour

    • 2 C sugar

    • ½ C cocoa

    • 1 tsp salt

    • 2 tsp soda

    • 2 eggs

    • 1C sour milk*

    • 1C salad oil such as canola, safflower, or an extra milk oilve oil

    • 1 C boiling water

    Mix dry ingredients. Add eggs, sour milk and salad oil. Last stir in boiling water. Mix quickly but well. Bake 40 minutes @ 350˚ in two regular cake pans. Cool 10 minutes, remove from pans. Split each layer in 2.

    *Yup. Sour milk. Nothing too far gone, of course. The baking kills the germs, and the lactic acid left behind tenderizes the cake. Who would've ever believed that sour milk could be so delicious? If you can't talk yourself into the sour milk, you can 1) use buttermilk, or 2) add 1 T lemon juice to the milk; stir & wait 15 minutes.

    Now for the frosting. It's a little more tricky, but worth it! The perfect foil for this rich, rich cake!

    CHOCOLATE BOILED MILK FROSTING

    11 1/2 cup milk

    6 tablespoons flour

    3 tablespoons cocoa

    1 1/2 cup butter

    1 1/2 cup sugar

    1/2 teaspoon vanilla

    Directions:

    FIRST: Make a paste of milk and flour (use a fork to sort of whip it - adding the flour and milk alternately, like 1/2 cup milk whisking in 2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 cup milk more and 2 more tablespoons flour, whipping with the spoon to get out any lumps, and then the last 1/2 cup milk and last 2 tablespoons flour and whip with the fork. If you try to mix it all together, it will just lump up.

    NEXT: Cook over a medium low heat the flour and milk paste slowly and stir often so it doesn't tick or burn (this is the only tricky part).. cooking till it is thicker than pudding.

    REMOVE FROM HEAT: Stir it till it is cool (this is the only other tricky part) - this is necessary as it can't be warm because of the butter you are going to add. In the mixer bowl cream the butter; sugar and vanilla till fluffy. Add the milk/flour paste

    BEAT on high for at least 10 minutes. Frost each layer, and the top. Serve.

    Enjoy!

    You could make scones with it. http://www.waitrose.com/recipe/Step_by_Step_-_How_... - just use sour milk instead.

    Sour milk makes the lightest and best scones.

    Serve with whipped cream and strawberry preserve.

    your curd / yogurt is ready

    now you can keep it in the refrigerator.
