Caesar Salad with bread, butter and chicken — USA recipe

Salads

Caesar Salad

Caesar salad is a Tijuana-born salad of romaine, Parmesan, croutons and a garlicky lemon dressing. This version builds the dressing on mayonnaise and buttermilk with Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, adds grilled chicken and bakes the croutons with garlic and olive oil. Made from scratch, it bears no resemblance to the bottled-dressing version.

Waffles (Crispy Outside, Fluffy Inside) with flour, cornstarch and buttermilk — USA recipe

Breakfast and Brunch

Waffles (Crispy Outside, Fluffy Inside)

These are crisp-edged American buttermilk waffles with a fluffy, tender crumb inside, leavened with baking powder and baking soda rather than yeast. Two tricks set this batter apart from a basic mix: cornstarch swapped in for some of the flour for extra crunch, and whipped egg whites folded in at the end for lift. Buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to create extra bubbles, so the batter puffs into pockets of steam the moment it hits the hot iron. The result is a waffle with real structure — crisp ridges that hold syrup without going soggy, and a tender interior that pulls apart in layers. Makes 7–8 waffles in a standard iron.

Scones (British Buttermilk Scones) with plain flour, baking powder and cold butter — UK recipe

Scones (British Buttermilk Scones)

Scones are the cornerstone of the British cream tea — a tradition in which scones are served warm, split horizontally, spread with clotted cream and jam, and eaten in the afternoon alongside a pot of tea. The word scone was written down in Scotland in 1513, the baking-powder scone appeared only after 1843, and today scones are associated with Devon and Cornwall in the south-west of England. They are a quick bread (leavened by baking powder and bicarbonate of soda rather than yeast) made from flour, cold butter, buttermilk, and a little sugar. The defining technique is the same as pastry-making: very cold butter worked into flour until it resembles breadcrumbs, combined with cold liquid to just bring the dough together — never kneaded. The cold butter pockets in the dough hit the hot oven and release steam, creating the characteristic slight flakiness and the dramatic rise that splits the scone naturally along the middle — the 'waist' — making it easy to break open by hand without a knife. The recipe makes six tall scones. The butter spends 10 minutes in the freezer and the cut scones 15 minutes in the fridge; neither is counted in the time.

Iceberg Lettuce Salad with Blue Cheese and Herbs with iceberg lettuce, blue cheese and buttermilk — USA recipe

Iceberg Lettuce Salad with Blue Cheese and Herbs

Iceberg gets dismissed as the lettuce with nothing to say, which misses the point entirely: it isn't there for flavour, it's there for cold and crunch. Cut into thick wedges and left whole, it stays icy and snapping under a thick buttermilk and blue cheese dressing that would flatten any softer leaf. Chives, dill, cherry tomatoes, and raw red onion do the talking. It's a steakhouse salad that needs both a fork and a knife.

Onion Ring Chips with sweet onions, panko breadcrumbs and buttermilk — USA recipe

Appetizers and Sandwiches

Onion Ring Chips

Onion rings cut thin and baked instead of deep-fried, so they crisp all the way through and eat like a chip rather than a side dish. Panko and parmesan do the crunching, and a 15-minute stint in the freezer before baking is what keeps the coating on the onion instead of on the tray.

Strawberry Shortcake with Buttermilk Biscuits

American strawberry shortcake is built on warm, craggy buttermilk biscuits rather than sponge cake. The biscuits split cleanly around juicy macerated berries and softly whipped cream, so every serving has crisp edges, tender crumbs, and plenty of strawberry syrup.
