Keto Chilled Cucumber & Buttermilk Soup#Soupswappers

This no-cook summery soup, perfect for hot summers. It has a delicious creamy texture with a hint of spice and tangy flavor from buttermilk which is so refreshing and low carb.
It's so quick and easy to make. Just add all ingredients to a blender and blend.. ta..da it's ready.

Serves One
Ingredients
1 Medium Cucumber - chopped
1 Cup Buttermilk
A Tiny Piece Ginger - chopped 1/2 inch piece
1 Green Chilly - not spicy & deseeded
Salt to taste
1 Teaspoon Lemon juice or to taste
Fresh mint leaves to garnish

Method 
Take chopped cucumber in a blender. Add rest of the ingredients to a blender and blend. Transfer into a serving bowl and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 -3 hours.
Garnish with mint leaves and serve.

My Notes
Buttermilk should be lump free. If you do not have buttermilk, you can mix equal quantities fresh yogurt and water and whisk till smooth.
If you want a dark green color then blend 3 -4 mint leaves.

Irish Soda Bread #BreadBakers


Since St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on Friday, March 17, our host Wendy Klik asked us to share our favorite Irish Bread recipes, sweet , savory, a rye or potato bread. I, decided to make a buttery Irish Soda Bread. 

This bread is  a delicate, since it's not yeasted, 
buttermilk is used to make this bread, it requires light kneading. This bread is lightly sweet and has a awesome taste of buttermilk. I,  slathered the slices of bread with butter and had it warm for breakfast and it was divine. 



Loved this bread. It's so quick and easy to make, will bake it often that's sure. Thank you Wendy for choosing  this theme and hosting this month's event.



Makes 1 loaf
Ingredients
2 Cups All Purpose Flour (plus extra for dusting)
1/2 Teaspoon Granulated Sugar
1 Tablespoon Heaped or 25 Grams Cold Butter - unsalted
1/4 Teaspoon Level Baking Soda
1/4 Teaspoon Level Cream of Tartar
1 Teaspoon Level Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Cup  Buttermilk * recipe below

Method

Take wide and large bowl, grate the butter into the flour, add salt and lightly mix it with you finger tips till it represents bread crumbs. Keep this bowl in the refrigerator to cool. 

In the meantime
Preheat the oven for 15 minutes at 250 degree C.
Line and grease the baking tray with oil and gather rest of the ingredients.

When the oven is preheated, now take the flour out of the refrigerator. Add the sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda and powder and lightly mix it. Make a well in the center and pour in most of the buttermilk, leaving about a tablespoon or two of butter milk. Using one hand with your fingers outstretched like a claw, bring the flour and liquid together, adding more buttermilk, if necessary. Don't knead the mixture, or it will become heavy and the bread will be dense. The dough should be soft, but not too wet and sticky.



When the dough comes together, turn it onto a floured work surface and bring it together a little more using both your hands. Pat the dough into a round and just wet you hands with the remaining buttermilk and moisten the top of the bread, then give  deep cut,  cross in it. Place it immediately on a baking sheet ( lined it with aluminium foil).



Bake for 30 to 35 minutes ( depending on the oven). After 25 minutes turn down the temperature 200 degrees C and bake for 5 minutes. After this turn the bread upside down and bake for 5 minutes more. When done, tap  the bread  will sound slightly hollow and  the bottom will be golden in color. Cool the bread,  when it's lightly warm slice it, butter it and enjoy.   Yum...



My Notes:

While measuring the baking powder, soda and cream of tartar, level the teaspoon by cutting it with you finger, this is very important. 


The flour and butter should cold. 

Buttermilk is a must in this recipe and can’t be left out. The main reason is the buttermilk chemically reacts with the baking powder and soda to make the bread rise. Do not keep the bread on the counter and then preheat the oven, the bread will fall while baking since the baking powder and soda starts reacting immediately when it meets liquid. 

For a beautiful, crispy crust do not open the door while baking. However, tempting it is, or else, you will not have a light and a thick crust bread.



How to Make Buttermilk
Ingredients

1 Cup Milk
1 Tablespoon White Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Method 

If the milk is from the refrigerator then warm it in the microwave for 15 seconds only (The milk that I used was from the refrigerator).  Take it out from the microwave and then add the vinegar or lemon juice.  Lightly stir the milk  and keep it aside for 10 minutes. Buttermilk is ready.

Southern Buttermilk Biscuits


When I went to make these biscuits, looked into the bag of self rising flour found only a cup. Actually this recipe requires only self rising flour, but substituted one cup with all purpose flour. The biscuits turned out good but not so flaky, the extreme hot weather in Mumbai made the butter just melt as I was incorporating it into the flour. Tried keeping the dough in refrigerator but that too did not help.

Sending these to 
Foodie Extravaganza Party - theme Buttermilk Biscuits our host of the month is Kathleen, thank you for hosting this event. 

Ingredients
1 Level Cup Self-rising flour
1 Level Cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar powdered
3/4 Cup Buttermilk - chilled
¼ Cup Heavy Cream - chilled
110 Grams Butter - chilled

Method


Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Line a tray sheet with butter paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl add flour, salt and brown sugar. Whisk until well combined.
Grate the cold butter into the flour mixture.
Use a fork,  to cut the butter  into the flour mixture until it resembles large crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the bowl. Add the heavy cream and lightly mix it with your finger tips. Then add the butter milk gently little at a time to make sticky dough ( do not knead the dough).
Sprinkle flour generously on the work surface. Place dough onto floured surface.
Sprinkle the top of dough with flour and flour your hands as well.
Very gently, knead the dough by folding it in layers a few times while just a little flour,  so that the dough is not sticking to your hands or your work surface. 

Gently pat the dough out into a small rectangle about 1 inch thick, flour your biscuit cutter and cut out circles.  Place biscuits on the baking tray.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. 


Brush with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven. Serve warm and enjoy with a cup of tea.
