Ryazhenka

Popular throughout Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, ryazhenka is a dairy product that is made by fermenting milk after it has been baked for a long time at low temperature. The fermentation is achieved by the addition of sour cream, kefir, or buttermilk.

Once prepared, ryazhenka has a thick and creamy texture, sweet flavor, and a milky yellowish color, which is why it is especially popular with children.
