Happy Accident.....Lemony Goodness

in the kitchen after making home-made buttermilk. I had
almost a 1/2 gallon of 1% milk and dumped Lemon Juice in it
to make buttermilk. I seldom measure things like this.

I decided to make my pound cake recipe using 1/2 recipe, not
realizing that I was too short on my self-rising flour. I then cut
the recipe another 1/2, making it a 1/4 measurement of the full
recipe.( I used honey instead of sugar and olive oil instead of
good old butter.)

This turned out to be a very lemony, wonderful surprise. Of
course, I doubt I can use this buttermilk to make biscuits. But,
it will make delish waffles and pancakes, cookies,etc.
The last piece was spread with vanilla yogurt sprinkled with
cinnamon.....ummmm...Recipe follows :

2 1/2 c. Self-Rising Flour
1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
350   25-30 minutes.

  7. Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits, I think, would be good with this buttermilk.

  8. I shoulda said 'made with this buttermilk'. Wish I had some more self rising flour. Oh well, another day perhaps.

  11. Oh that sounds SO good. I wish I had been there. Of course if I had I would have tried to do you out of all of the cake. I love anything lemony. Also, I would try to get Kassey to let me love on her.
