Does anyone know where buttermilk can be bought?
I am following Delia's recipe for scones and cannot find any butter milk.

No, but apparently ordinary milk mixed with lemon juice or clear vinegar is reckoned to be a good substitute.
|
Thank you Iffy , I'll give it a try

Tesco sell St Ivel Buttermilk at 55p for 284 ml.
|
As L'escargot's post above, but also available at Waitrose at the same price. It's low fat, by the way.
...There is no charge for this service.

Most of the items for Delia's recipes are available in Waitrose.

I use it for sodabread - I usually get it from either Tesco or Sainsburys, it will be in pots like cream, and usually, but not always in the same place as the cream, but it is something they don't always have appeared to have in stock

Obviously a lot of guys here who get sent for shopping. :-)
|
|
I don't mind the odd bit of shopping, as long as it keeps me out of the kitchen.
|
|
I am only allowed into the kitchen for washing up, or emptying the dishwasher. I would rather go for the forgotten item too.
|
|
I'm not even allowed to empty the dishwasher. Thank goodness!

Why am I not surprised this is the last remaining refuge of domestic dinosaurs?
|
Never understood why so many men are proud of their complete inability to cook even a basic meal. Surely its a basic skill that everyone should have.
|
Who said that they could not cook a basic meal? Who said that they were proud?
Wrong end of the stick, again...

Just an observation Clk Sec and not directed at you. I am sure you cooking skills are excellent.

But not recently practised by the sound of it.

Not my favourite pastime, CGN. Zero has me banged to rights.
Must try this buttermilk, though.

My family assert that my cooking skils are limited to kedgeree, lambs heart stew & rabbit. I can in fact do a mean steak & chips as well!!
|
agree CGN
home economics was disbanded by dozy tony though i believe in the rush to get everyone to youniverseatiy

Overtime I have ended up getting most (normally all) of the groceries sorted. When I work from home or nearby I often do the evening meal too. And load/unload the dishwasher too. Finally found the attachment in the new house (at the back of the cupboard under the sink) to do full size/height items (Bosch style).
Evening meal tonight because the wife worked until 8pm is fresh pasta. Pasta itself itself is not hand made but the rest is.
And it took an hour to drive from the office to home earlier. And stopped to pick up a few groceries locally.

I love to cook and I like shopping for food. Don't really do washing up much though. My wife has a machine which does it apparently. I don't interfere.

I used to cook an evening meal when TTQ was doing her full 3 days a week in the Jewellers shop. I'm not a brilliant cook but I could knock up a fair pasta meal or one of those cook in sauce types of things.
Her hobby is cooking, as a former cookery teacher. Since retiring, she does the foody bits and is very inventive. Being under the Weight Watchers regime means I don't really have a clue as to what she is allowed, so i leave well enough alone now.
I don't mind the washing up, though. I stack the machine and generally empty it. I wash easier things in the sink and make sure the kitchen is all boxed off and squared away for the morning. As the guys sing in Wonderpets....' What do we want ?....teamwork ' !
I do my own washing, rarely have the need to iron anything. In a different era, I could happily iron 15 to 20 shirts in one session, needed the music on, of course.

Traditionally Scones are made with sour milk! - put a pinta in a warm place a couple of days before your next baking day.

...Traditionally Scones are made with sour milk!...
Hence the substitute for butter milk is milk and lemon juice or vinegar - soured milk.
|
Now you're talking Ted, ironing is relaxing, soothing and takes you to far away places.
I love it and iron everything, socks, teatowels, even dusters too...all while head banging away ( with the ironing board for support) to Def Leppard:)

...I love it and iron everything...
Pat,
That's a risky thing to say on the forum.
I apprehend several bales of un-ironed clothing will land on your doorstep.
To be serious, ironing has become a business for some people.
There's an 'ironing shop' at Framwellgate Moor on the outskirts of Durham City.
|
But I only do it when it's cold outside, you see, I love gardening more!
