bollocks to breadmakers, thanks to carmenere!

I've just made soda bread and it is diiiiiiiiivine!

Can't wait for supper, have made chicken, veggie and lentil soup and am going to have my sodabread slathered in BUTTER

I know,it is bloody great.
Sooo easy too.

recipe here if you want it, it took about 2 mins!

I added half a tsp of baking powder too

Can't believe I have been faffing about with kneading all these years

can't feckin' find feckin' buttermilk anywhere

been looking in supermarkets for about 2 years

found it once in sainsbury's but never again

most frustrating for Irish fiend of a DH who loves making soda bread

Thanks CD.
Have printed off and stuck in my little black book of receipts.

waitrose sell it but it is with the cream/yoghurt not the milk

You can just mix some lemon juice with milk apparantly

My butcher sells buttermilk.
And lard.
Yum

really?

do you know how much lemon juice to milk (assume full fat)

here on second page tells you the substitutes

lard rocks

Goose fat rocks more

Have freezer full of both (after Yuletide Great Goose debacle of 2005).
Am mad for dripping too,but that's just lard with beefy bits in really

asda sells it

thanks cd

butter has sooooooo many points

i know beety but have eaten nowt today and I JUST FANCY IT!!!

My mum makes it with plain yoghurt if she's got no buttermilk.

She reckons it goes off quicker if you use sour milk

bump for carmenere
