RECIPE TIPS:
Ingredient notes:
Buttermilk powder, such as Saco Buttermilk Blend, is a useful substitute for fresh buttermilk. Look in the baking section or with the powdered milk in most supermarkets.
Dried egg whites, such as Just Whites, reconstituted, can be substituted for fresh egg whites.
You can find flaxseed meal at some natural-foods markets or mail-order it (try www.bobsredmill.com). It is highly perishable, so store it in the refrigerator or freezer. To make your own flaxseed meal, grind 2/3 cup whole flaxseeds to yield 1 cup.
