2004 resolution report, week 11

it's been all about buttermilk this week. since i recently read that buttermilk is okay for those with lactose intolerance, i wanted to try a few recipes with buttermilk in them.

i made buttermilk bread in the bread machine on sunday (does that really count?)

i made buttermilk biscuits to go with the soup we had for dinner on monday.

tuesday night/wed morning i made buttermilk muffins for breakfast. (i used my mom's method-mix up all dry ingredients the night before, then add the wet ingredients in the morning and bake. saves a lot of time, believe me.)

so far, brian has suffered no ill effects. and that's good because i STILL have more buttermilk left to use before it goes bad! hmmm...pancakes or waffles tomorrow?

and off the buttermilk subject, i've been dying to try a sticky bun recipe that i found in julia's baking book. the hitch? it uses 3 1/2 sticks of butter. yes, you read that right: THREE AND A HALF STICKS OF BUTTER.
