BUTTERMILK SHAKES

Steps:

• Puree equal parts buttermilk and fruit sorbet in a blender until smooth.

HOMEMADE BUTTERMILK

Steps:

• Mix the milk and lemon juice in a jug. Leave at room temperature for 5-10 mins until the milk has thickened slightly. It won't thicken as much as traditional buttermilk, but it's a great substitute when making scones, soda bread or pancakes. Don't worry if the mixture looks curdled or has small white lumps in it, it will be fine once cooked.

BUTTERMILK LEEK TART

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set a 9-inch tart ring (about 2 inches deep) or the hoop of a 9-inch springform pan on top; set aside. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out puff pastry about 1/8-inch-thick. Using a sharp paring knife, cut into a 13-inch round, and lay over tart ring. Fit into ring, and fold in edges against the inside of the ring, pressing gently to seal. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat, melt butter. Add leeks, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 7 minutes. Add buttermilk and mustard, and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat; set aside.
• To assemble tart, layer goat cheese and leek mixture on chilled pastry, ending with goat cheese. In a small bowl, beat together egg yolk and cream. Brush pastry with egg wash, and bake until golden, about 35 minutes. Serve warm.
