I discovered a trick when I was baking my mother's Chocolate Whoopie Pie recipe for the first time. It only comes in a quart container at my grocery store which is way more than the 1 cup that my intended recipes usually require. It calls for sour milk. Perplexed, I called my mom, "sour milk?, what is that?".
