Notes
Buttermilk:
Pour 1 cup of full fat milk into a jug. Take 1 tablespoon of milk out of the jug and add back to the container of milk.
Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, white vinegar or lemon juice to the 1 cup of milk. Stir and leave to thicken for a couple of minutes.
This is buttermilk.
