Amish cooks often have a lot of buttermilk on hand, either from milk that has gone sour or from the leftovers after churning. Either way, the flavorful milk adds wonderful taste to almost anything it touches from cakes, cookies, pies, and even chicken. These are some favorite Amish recipes using buttermilk.

Kevin...Just finished Abraham's Redemption. It was a good read and I enjoyed it. At the end you have recipes and in the directions for Salome's raspberry pudding pie it mentions lemon, but there is no mention of lemon in the list of ingredients. How much lemon (I assume it is lemon juice)?

Yikes, sorry, Mari...it is just 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Thanks for catching that. You also commented about the wide "white spaces" in the book...I apologize for that, that definitely wasn't purposeful. I will check that out on a revised printing, if I could shave some pages off the page count, that'd make the book cheaper to produce which would be great, so thanks for telling me!
