buttermilk pancakes, or a cake that uses bicarb as the leavening. My great grandfather used to crumble up cornbread into buttermilk and drink it._pale_ My cousins and I were never impressed by this.

chilled it's a lovely refreshing drink (not at all like the thick cultured kind you get in the shops)

cross-posted there about drinking it

not sure about the crumbled cornbread though, but I might just give it a try next time I've got some of each :think:

Soda Bread...

See what they say about shaping it..ignore it!Once you've made it,make into a round & cut into quarters,then cook until done.Then cut the round into quarters,cut a quarter in half then fry in butter till golden.Serve with a fried egg & baked beans.That's my fave way of eating them,or you could fry two halves & slam a load of crispy bacon between the halves!

I've not tried it myself but there are loads of others on OS that swear by it I don't think the kind of milk matters

I use yogurt, the thinner cheap kind works better than the Greek styles


I fancy some soda bread myself now

TBH the last batch of buttermilk left over from making butter we threw away. I just can't find enough uses for it.
