[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biscuits. Why do they require buttermilk? We're lactose intolerant in my house and I can't find any substitute. I've read about adding vinegar to milk but that apparently doesn't give the same rise. [/quote] I am vegan and use vinegar or lemon juice and baking soda on for muffins, pancakes and scones. I almost always get good results. The buttermilk is only the acid which reacts with baking soda or powder and creates CO2. The CO2 escaping causes the rise. You can get the same effect by with baking soda and vinegar into your mix A lot of people say that you should use double action baking powder because you get that extra rise with the heat, but I can't stand the taste of baking powder. I am getting great results with baking soda. Also make sure your not kneading your dough too much as it can make your biscuits dense and prevent a good rise. [/quote]
