IngredientsDairy & fat
Vollmilchwhole milk
Milk at 3.5 percent fat. When a German recipe just says Milch, this is what it means.
It is the base of Milchreis, Grießbrei, pudding, béchamel and most yeast doughs.
In der Küchein the kitchen
The fat is what makes the porridge creamy and holds it on the spoon. Semi skimmed milk leaves it thin and watery.
Milk catches on the bottom of the pot fast. Mix it in cold, low flame, keep stirring.
In Mexikoin Mexico
Leche entera, in every supermarket and every corner shop.
The carton says entera, semidescremada or descremada. For German recipes always take entera.
Vorsichtwatch out
Most Mexican milk is UHT treated and tastes slightly cooked.
In pudding, rice pudding and dough nobody notices. Drunk from the glass you will.
