you use buttermilk to make soda bread, from what I can remember it help it rise because you dont use any yeast in soda bread, will see if I can find recipe.

Or look on the BBC website - go to lifestyle then food and click on find recipes and in the search box type buttermilk - it woll come up with lots of recipes using buttermilk.

Icing
225g icing sugar
2 tbs (30g) butter
3 tbs (45ml) coca-cola

? Pour into the dry ingredients. Stir well.
? Add liquid ingredients from the jug, beating well until blended
? Pour into prepared tin
? Bake for 40 mins until tester comes out clean

Can also use the mix to make muffins or a loaf. I sometimes add chocolate chips and don?t ice the cake.

Soda bread is lovely. This is James Martin's recipe.

Ingredients
170g/6oz self-raising wholemeal flour
170g/6oz plain flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
290ml/½ pint buttermilk

Method
1.Preheat the oven to 400F/200C/Gas 6.
2. Tip the flours, salt and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl and stir.
3. Make a well in the centre and pour in the buttermilk, mixing quickly with a large fork to form a soft dough. (Depending upon the absorbency of the flour, you may need to add a little milk if the dough seems too stiff but it should not be too wet or sticky.)
4.Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly.
5. Form into a round and flatten the dough slightly before placing on a lightly floured baking sheet.
6. Cut a cross on the top and bake for about 30 minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.

I have been looking for powdered buttermilk in the UK.. I used it for a buttermilk biscuit recipe in the States, but was told I couldn't ship milk products here... ASDA and Tesco think I'm asking for something really gross when I ask for Buttermilk - either powdered or fresh.. Can anyone help with a UK source.. Preferable Lancashire..
Thanks

I am going to try and make this at some point this week in my drive to introduce new meals in our house and have the buttermilk waiting!

i found the buttermilk in sainsburys, it was 10p i have seen it in tescos as well. It is kept with the normal milks/soya and flavoured milks and creams.

Otherwise, if you have a local little Irish shops, they always sell it.
