As I got older I liked to lightly toast slices in the oven and top with cream cheese. One tip I would recommend in the cooking, if you have a safety can opener, like the Tupperware one, you can save the lids which fit tight back on the can, and just weight them down while steaming.

…………………..
He stressed the importance of checking what your can may be coated with. One of the posters that watched his video said that he avoids the can additive problem by using one of those cylindrical stainless steel flatware holders that they sell at restaurant supply houses. I went today to buy one, now I have to look for canning tongs and graham flour and I'm ready to roll.

I even bought a fancy lidded mold to make it. But I cannot tolerate dairy anymore. What can I substitute for the buttermilk?

Muscat seeded raisins however, work. Unfortunately the corporate management at sunmaid have again discontinued offering Muscats. But if you're in the u.k or Canada you can use lexia raisins which are muscats by another name. I wish America's test kitchen would cover this rather than pretend there isn't a difference.

I also like the finely ground corn flour instead of corn meal, because I don't like the corn meal texture. If you use stone ground whole wheat flour, it is more like Fanny Farmer's wheat flour. Also, this is a good recipe to use up sour milk which you can use instead of buttermilk, if you want to.
