How to Make Sour Milk if you ran out of Buttermilk
The easy and quick way to make your own sour milk
When your recipe calls for 1 cup of sour milk, all you need to do would be to add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a measuring cup and then you will have to fill it up with regular milk up to 1 cup mark. Give it a good stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes and it will become buttermilk and ready to be used.
Are donuts and Doughnuts the same?
Doughnut is the original, generally preferred spelling of the word. It is more common in the United States and vastly more common internationally. Donut is an Americanized, shortened version of Donut that isn’t incorrect, but it is much less common.
Are Doughnuts British?
Doughnuts are a British invention according to historians who have unearthed they were invented by the English upper classes. Americans say they invented them, but the Dutch disagree and have long claimed the squidgy, sugary treats as their own.

Hi . What will be the substitute for eggs in this recipe.
Hi Seetha. I will have to ask Jennifer and once I hear back from her, I will let you know. Not sure if she tried flax eggs for this, but I will check in with her. Thanks for asking
Hi there Seetha. As promised, I received the following feedback from Jennifer:
Esme Slabs hi …I haven’t ever tried without eggs…so I’m not sure.The substitute for egg is 1 tsp cider vinegar.
Seetha, as you can see neither of us have tried it without eggs, so if you wish, feel free to test it out and let us know how it turned out but we can not guarantee the outcome, so you will have to decide if you wish to test it without eggs.
Mmmm these look good! I really like mini donuts, but I don’t like bigger donuts with jam because I’m a weird one that doesn’t like jam 😂 I bet these smell lovely when frying. x
Nothing better than any freshly baked no matter what you make. Enjoy and let me know what you think of these please. Any feedback will be appreciated
