Source: Grace Epp
Time and Temperature:
Yield: enough for Grace's Bread Machine Paska
Note:
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup cottage cheese*
2 hard cooked egg yolks
¼ cup cream
¼ cup butter
¼ sugar
Grated peel of lemon – just a sprinkle or to taste.
1 tsp. lemon juice

Put cheese and egg yolks through a sieve or food mill.  Heat cream just slightly to warm slightly.  (the old boiling method was to kill bacteria I think)  Cream butter and sugar and mix In rest of ingredients.  Allow to mellow in refrigerator at least overnight for flavours to blend.

* (best made by letting one litre of buttermilk sit on the counter overnight, then pour into pot and let sit on lowest heat on stove for about 2 hours until curds and whey separate.  You can save the whey for bread baking or drink it or throw it out.  Line a sieve with cheese cloth or a paper towel.  Pour the curds into it to drain over a large bowl or measuring cup.  Let drain thoroughly and use right away or refrigerate or freeze))
