Hi Phyllis! You’re welcome! Thank you for visiting my blog. Please come again.
can you use regular whole milk instead of buttermilk
Hi Janet! Yes, regular whole milk can be used instead of buttermilk. However, the TASTE will not be as good as buttermilk (in my humble opinion). I know many people who enjoy using whole milk. Itโs really all about personal preference. Thank you for visiting my blog. Please come again!
