Notes

  • You can use buttermilk for regular milk. Buttermilk can be substituted with clabbered milk if you mix 1 Tbs of vinegar or lemon juice into a cup of milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Buttermilk gives MUCH better results though!
  • If you have no ginger, you can use allspice or mace.
