On a tiny scrap of paper, is the reason my pancakes turn out fantastic. The reason I've never needed to buy a quart of buttermilk for a recipe that calls for a cup. This is quite possibly the best cooking tip/trick that I know - passed down from my Grandmother to my Mother to me...
For Buttermilk
add 2 tablespoons of lime, vinegar, lemon or grapefruit juice to 7/8 cup of milk.
My Notes: I've adjusted this tip in my everyday cooking to make measuring a bit easier. I use 2 tablespoons to 1 cup of milk with no problems. I've found that lemon is a fairly easy acid to use as most people have a bottle of lemon juice in their fridge. Vinegar has the advantage of offering different flavor options to enhance your dish. Case in point: For apple pancakes/waffles in the fall, I use Apple Cider Vinegar to give my buttermilk that extra kick.

Recipes from my Grandmother
My love of cooking and almost obsessive recipe collecting was inherited from my mother who inherited it from her mother. My grandmother's recipe box overflowed with recipes - dishes that were family favorites, desserts she wanted to try, appetizers to complete the perfect party, meals for all palates. This blog documents the relationship my grandmother had with the kitchen and allows me to further connect with her through our shared love.
