A CLOSER LOOK

How to recognize it

Thin pale sheets of cow-milk curd, stretched after heating milk with sour liquid and dried on a rack.

In the kitchen

Grilled rolls, fried pieces or an addition to sweet tea.

Grilling softens the sheets for rolling; frying produces a crisp preparation. It can also be broken into small pieces for sweet tea.
