HELEN'S LEIPA JUUSTO 
8 qts. milk from the 4th or 5th milking after cow freshens

(This milk yields the most cheese and tastes the best.) 1 Rennet tablet dissolved in 1/3 c. water

Warm the milk to 110 degrees. Add dissolved Rennet tablet and stir about 1 minute. Set pan aside until mixture becomes firm. Make several cuts into it with a knife and drain off the whey that accumulates. Squeeze cheese several times to drain the whey. Shape out on buttered cookie sheet. Bake under broiler until golden brown, turn over and bake other side. Drain the whey. (High heat makes tender cheese - low or moderate heat toughens the cheese.)
