Tip

Sticky Gelatin

Gelatin always sticks to the bottom or sides of the bowl when I prepare it. So I put the dry mix in a bowl and add just enough cold water to dampen it. Then I pour in the boiling water and stir. The gelatin doesn't stick and still sets to the right consistency. —Bertha Duncum, Cameron, Texas

I too would like to know what liquid and how much is to be mixed with the dry milk, drink mix, food coloring and salt. 1/2 a cup is used for the gelatin and the remainder is used for the cottage cheese. I must have missed something.

Help! Someone needs to re-write the instructions so we can understand what to do. Is the DRY milk mixed with the drink mix and food coloring? I'm a seasoned cook and am familiar with cooking instructions, but this is really confusing. In this day and age we don't want to waste ingredients. Thank you.

 I think I'm missing something . . . One half cup water is used in the first paragraph to dissolve the gelatin. The second paragraph calls for mixing the milk, drink mix, food coloring, salt and beating. There is no liquid other than the food coloring.  The next step calls for using the "remaining water" (3/4 cups?) and processing it with the cottage cheese. 

When is the milk powder recontituted and how much water is used?

What is "soft drink mix"? Is it powdered juice mix or is it "soft drink" as in soda/pop mix?
