I was looking at the recipe in Joy of Cooking for steamed apple molasses pudding. It calls for orange rind. Can I use extract instead? What should the proportion be? Thanks.
It also calls for buttermilk - maybe I'll just use yogurt. Lenona. |

But here, so-called English cucumbers are shrink-wrapped in plastic to serve the same purpose. Maybe you get your cucumbers closer to when they were harvested. |

Apples, peppers, squash, and many other fruits and vegetables are waxed too, to extend shelf life. The wax used on produce is a natural vegetable wax (carnauba, etc.), and typically water soluable. You ingest a lot more wax than you probably know. The only reason I don't care for waxed cukes is they won't pickle evenly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnauba_wax |

Ranch salad dressing. The Joy of Cooking has a good one, although I omit the mayonnaise, to save on fat and because I prefer a thinner dressing. Of course, if I'm going to dip celery sticks in it, I make it thicker. ![]() Cindy Hamilton |

You can add vinegar to regular milk to make a great buttermilk substitute for baking. I do that all the time when I make my quick breads. Google for the correct ratio. -- jinx the minx |

Or maybe re-created one: http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-lemo...e-kitchn-19089 Some days we just need something cheery for breakfast, something easy yet bright and tart. These muffins are a favorite way to welcome the sun, whether you can see it through the clouds or not. They're soft, fluffy, and full of lemon, and you don't even need the mixer. That's what I call award-winning. The Most Lemony of Lemon Muffins Makes 12 muffins 2 1/2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup sesame seeds, toasted, optional 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 large lemons, zested and juiced 1 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla For the lemon syrup: 1/2 cup lemon juice, from the juiced lemons (above) 1/2 cup sugar Additional lemon zest to garnish, optional |
