Sabatini, I have the same problem with buttermilk. Someone on the boards here recommended this product and I now keep it on hand. It works beautifully.Product Details

It's a powder that you mix with water. I used it for making scones this week and I couldn't tell the difference.

Next ingredient: corn tortillas

I always keep this product in my pantry, I try to buy the larger box when I can find it.......

Re: JUNE RECIPE EXCHANGE GAME

Farro

First, check the box to see whether your farro is whole, semi-pearled, or pearled. You have a few options to choose from, and the type you have affects the cooking time.
•Whole farro still has an outer layer of bran, and it needs to be soaked in water or broth for 24 hours before cooking. It will take longer to cook than semi-pearled or pearled farro, approximately 40 to 50 minutes, but it has the full measure of nutrients and flavor.
•Semi-pearled farro already has some of the bran layer removed, so you can cook it straight out of the box or soak it first if you prefer. It still contains a good amount of nutrients and flavor, and it cooks in about 20 to 25 minutes.
•Pearled farro has all of the bran layer removed. It doesn't need to be soaked and cooks in about 15 minutes, but it has fewer nutrients and definitely less flavor than whole or semi-pearled farro.

Simplest Way to Cook

Cooking this grain on the stove top is perhaps the simplest way to cook it, regardless of which type of farro you plan to use.
1.Combine 3 parts water or broth to 1 part farro in a saucepan.
2.Bring the contents of the pan to a boil.
3.Reduce to a simmer, and continue cooking while stirring occasionally until the grain is tender and nearly all of the liquid is absorbed.

Farro cooking tips

• 500 grams (1.1 lb.) of farro is about 2 3¾ cups; each cup yields about 2 cups cooked.
• Before cooking, sort through farro and discard debris, then rinse and drain the grain.
• Use 1 part farro to 3 parts seasoned liquid, such as chicken broth.
• As it cooks, the mixture foams, so 1 cup farro needs at least a 4- to 5-quart pan.
• Simmer farro, covered, until tender to bite, about 25 minutes.
• If you want a creamy texture, let stand off the heat for about 10 minutes.
• If cooking farro ahead of time, drain while still hot; save liquid to add when reheating or ? since the grain makes a good salad ? to use as part of a dressing. Let farro cool, then cover and chill up to 2 days. Reheat in a microwave oven or use cold.

This is my recipe...I use rice in mine

Unstuffed Cabbage Roll

1 lb lean ground turkey (I used 90/10)

Preparation:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and onion, and cook, stirring, until the turkey is broken up and is no longer pink, and the onion is tender.
