- Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Combine milk and lime juice in another bowl. Starting with the dry, pour about � of it into the creamed butter/sugar/eggs. Stir until just combined with wooden spoon. Then add ? of the milk mixture and stir until just combined. Repeat this until all dry and wet have been used - you will end with the dry.
