Preparation

Chef’s notes

Adapted from Keys to the Kitchen:
The Essential Reference for Becoming a More Accomplished, Adventurous Cook by Aida Mollenkamp.
Aida’s original recipe called for ⅔ cup maple syrup, so you could increase the amount of liquid sweetener to up to ⅔ cup for sweeter results. Aida notes that you can substitute agave nectar, honey or brown sugar for the maple syrup, but I haven’t tried.
Make your own buttermilk by adding 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar to 1 ½ cups low-fat milk.
