I used my regular fudge recipe but instead of heavy cream I used buttermilk.

The fudge was just as smooth and creamy, but with a bit of a tang.

Is this the maple cream recipe?? Looks beyond divine!!!!

Maple Cream Fudge
=================
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup cream
1/3 cup of butter
1/4 cup of maple syrup
pinch of salt
vanilla
Toasted Walnuts

Add the two sugars, butter and cream maple syrup and salt into a sauce pan. Place over medium heat. Stir while bringing to a boil. Lower the heat and continue to stir slowly while the mixture cooks. After about 7 minutes, test by pouring a small amount into some cold water. You want it to form a soft ball. You might need to cook it for another minute or two. Remove from the heat, add a couple of teaspoons of vanilla and start stirring. It takes about 14 or 15 minutes for the fudge to cool and thicken. Pour into buttered dish.

Or is it this one?...
Walnut and White Chocolate Fudge
=================
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup cream
1/2 cup of butter
pinch of salt
1/4 cup of white Corn Syrup
6 to 8 ounces Callebaut White Chocolate
Walnuts
2 teaspoons vanilla

Add the two sugars, butter, cream, corn syrup and salt into a sauce pan. Place over medium heat. Stir while bringing to a boil. Lower the heat and continue to stir slowly while the mixture cooks. After about
7 minutes, test by pouring a small amount into some cold water. You want it to form a soft ball. (about 235Ã¯Â¿Â½F to 238Ã¯Â¿Â½F on a candy thermometer) When it reaches soft ball stage, remove from the heat, and let rest for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, add the vanilla and the white chocolate and stir until the white chocolate melts. You will notice the the fudge starts to thicken almost immediately. Stir another minute or two or until the fudge starts to lose its shine. Quickly add the walnuts and pour into a buttered dish. TIP: Toast the Walnuts.

Ceasarstone Buttermilk - white or cream color?
Q

It shows pink here but it has a yellow undertone, maybe even a greige. Buttermilk has circular water drop shapes in white. I had it installed but had it removed because they scratched it on install, so now I have the same color in Pentalquartz Botticino, which has white squiggles and no pronounced circles. On a white quartz, the drops and squiggles are usually gray.

Use more buttermilk than milk in cake recipe?
Q
Comments (9)
I baked the cake and used all the buttermilk called for. It was good -- very moist and heavy. I like heavy, but some might not. Several people ate two pieces and my grandson asked if he could have the same cake for his birthday -- only with blue icing instead of orange. So it was successful. I still don't know what the difference is between the amounts of milk and will probably do another with only the one cup, using buttermilk to see what happens. Thanks for the responses.

Using buttermilk in a cake recipe
Q

I would say No, I would use equal amounts buttermilk as milk, same measurement. But, you have baking powder in your ingredients so please read this: If you find buttermilk's tang appealing you may want to replace some or all of the milk called for in certain recipes. When using baking powder, however, take care in substituting buttermilk for regular milk as it upsets the balance of alkali to acid. Buttermilk has more acid than regular milk, which will reduce the carbon dioxide released and thwart the leavening process important to these recipes. To achieve the desired result when using buttermilk instead of milk, be sure to substitute baking soda for some or all for of the baking powder. For each cup of buttermilk used in place of sweet milk, reduce the amount of baking powder by 2 teaspoons, and replace with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. *And I should add I'm hardly a professional baker, just my untrained opinion. I just finished a cake using buttermilk, and it called for soda not powder. Old recipe, tried and true.

Scones using cream vs. scones with buttermilk?
Q
Comments (23)
There are several different baked goods that are called "scones". As I learned on my recent trip to London, the traditional scone is a dry, cake-like, pastry that requires the addition of something sweet and gooey to make it edible. Ann's recipe that many of us use yields a pastry that is moist and chewy, due to the addition of fruit and/or chocolate to the batter prior to baking. Neither one uses eggs in the recipe. Here's my version of Ann_T's Scone Recipe: This simple scone recipe can be modified in a variety of different ways. Blueberries instead of Raspberries. Leave out the chocolate chips, replace them with white chocolate or butterscotch. Add 1/2 teaspoon of mint or almond extract. Thanks to AnnT at Houzz for the original recipe. 2-1/2 cups All Purpose flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar or brown sugar 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder (high altitude - reduce to 2 teaspoons) 1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold butter cut into small pieces 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream) - (high altitude - increase to 1-1/4 cups) 1 cup frozen Raspberries 1 cup mini chocolate chips Mix dry ingredients well. Cut in butter. Mix in cream. When the cream is almost incorporated, add fruit, berries or nuts. Bake at 425F for 15-18 minutes (high altitude - 440 degrees for 20 minutes) or until tops are just turning golden and centers are set.

Mitch, If I'm going to have a piece of fudge, I want a "piece" of fudge. Not a little thin piece..

I use an old Pyrex dish that is small, just 9 by 5 inches. The sides are about 1 3/4 inches high. Looks like a low sided loaf pan.

I saw this picture in the Pyrex dish earlier today and have not been able to get it out of my mind.

I have the same size dish and I will have to fill it tomorrow....with the Maple Cream Fudge. Love it!

Fudge. Oh well, my hips will just have to get over it.

And since I always have a backup for buttermilk, in case I run out of . . . buttermilk, I'll have to make this.

Yum, Ann t, it looks delicious, and I love your maple walnut fudge. I don't dare make it, Elery doesn't eat sweets and I'd end up eating it all.

Yeah, I know, a person who doesn't eat sweets. It's just wrong. Actually, he's hypoglycemic and sweets give him a headache, so that just leaves more for me which ends up being a good thing. I think....

Sorry, Ann - I had a question re: the recipe. It says:

"...and start stirring. It takes about 14 or 15 minutes for the fudge to cool and thicken..."

Are you supposed to stir the fudge for the whole 15 minutes? Or can you let it sit and cool first, then stir??

Thanks!

I've done both Lori.

But the easiest is - remove from the heat when it reaches the softball stage and let it sit for 10 minutes. Shortens the beating time if you let it cool first. Much easier on the "beating" arm.

I have the perfect wide, shallow loaf red baking dish for this.

I love the idea of tangy fudge. But I'd like to try it with chocolate and buttermilk. :)
