Wednesday What Not #73


In honor of what I have officially dubbed "It's Good To Be A Murphy Day", I plan on baking a non-traditional soda bread.  It will be non-traditional for two reasons; one being that it will be sweetened with chocolate chips (a request from my sweet toothed husband) and two being that it will include my own DIY buttermilk (the "what not" part of this post).

Buttermilk is the slightly sour liquid left after butter has been churned.  It is commonly used in baking, however, recipes usually only warrant 1 cup and not 1 container.  In keeping with my recently adopted "no waste" mentality, I discovered that buttermilk can be made with simple pantry staples;  milk and lemon juice.  

Considering that both are currently sitting in my refrigerator, my non traditional soda bread, might just become a St. Patrick's Day tradition ;)
