Kendall suggests experimenting with any one or more of the following small adjustments, using trial and error, to help prevent your cakes from falling. Like many other cheeses, panir is made by heating whole milk, adding an acid to coagulate the milk protein to form soft curds. The curds are then drained of the whey and pressed. Panir has a mild, creamy taste, with a texture and look similar to tofu. Ricotta is also a fresh cheese, but it is made from the whey that is drained off while making other cheeses, typically mozzarella.
Ricotta cheese has a rich, sweet flavor with a moist, slightly grainy texture.
It is used in savory dishes such as lasagna, manicotti and in desserts such as cannoli. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line bottom of greased 8-inch square baking pan with 4 slices of bread, cutting to fit. Arrange 8 slices, overlapping them in 2 rows. Press down firmly.
