Lime Sherbet

I found a wonderful recipe on Pinterest for Refreshing Lime Sherbet, and per usual for me, I adjusted it for myself and my family and for our ice cream maker, and here is the result.

4-6 tsp lime zest*
1 1/2 C sugar
5-6 C milk
1 C fresh lime juice (prob 8 limes)
1/8+ t salt

Mix the ingredients together in a bowl until well blended, then pour into the ice cream freezer container. (Mine is bigger than the 4 quart maker for the original recipe, but I'm not sure how big, maybe 8. This recipe did not fill it to the "Fill" line.) Freeze to manufacturer's directions. Mmmm!

Notes - The original recipe called for added water, but I just used the whole milk I had on hand, instead of half and half. It works - it tastes great!

Make it dairy free by using almond or soy milk.

*The zest is just the outside green part of the rind, not including the white pith underneath, so as to avoid getting the bitter part of the lime. (In the case of a lemon, the yellow.)

Sour Milk Pancakes

1 t baking soda
2 cups sour milk
2 eggs, beaten
11/2 T sugar
pinch of salt
2 cups sifted flour (I like whole wheat)
1 T melted butter
1 t baking powder

Dissolve soda in buttermilk.  Stir in eggs.  Add sugar and salt.  Beat in flour a little at a time.  Add butter and baking powder. Fry individual pancakes and serve hot.

When looking for recipes to use some sour milk, I found this recipe on Pinterest.  "Retro recipes" are some of my favorites because they usually tend to be basic and delicious, and I did NOT want to lose this one. I also changed it very slightly, so what you see here is how I fix it. (Main difference - it called for buttermilk, but I wanted to use sour milk. It totally works!)
