After the entire gallon has curdled, strain the milk through a muslin cloth so the water drains off completely. Remove the whey, squeeze out the water completely. Add the flour, mix well.

Roll the whey into oblong sizes about 3" in length. Dissolve about 3 cups of sugar in 11/2 cups water. Let the sugared water stay on low heat.
