Crowdie

Set pan with freshly sour or thick milk on a slow heat and watch till it curdles, not letting it simmer or boil or it will harden. When set, let it cool before drawing off the whey. Use a muslin cloth. When whey is completely squeezed out mix crowdie with a little salt until you find it very soft in your hands, mix with cream or top of milk and set out in dishes. The mixture can also be pressed in a colander to remove whey and a weight placed on top. The crowdie can then be sliced like cheese.
