Notes
Cheese:
- For this recipe I used an Irish cheese called Dubliner by the brand Kerrygold. You can substitute this cheese with grated Sharp Cheddar or Gouda Cheese.
- Make a quick buttermilk substitute in just minutes with two simple ingredients! Mix 1 cup of milk (whole or low-fat) with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it curdles slightly. Use immediately in your recipe as a perfect replacement for buttermilk. For a dairy-free option, swap the milk for unsweetened almond or soy milk and follow the same process.
- Replace the cheese with ¾ cup of dried currants and add 2 tablespoon of granulated sugar to the dough, before adding the buttermilk.
