Gave them a try this morning and reasonably happy with how they turned out, just used half measures of ingredients, mixture was very soft and sticky to work with but got there. Thank you for posting.

We call this buttermilk- same I think? And we use it for soda bread too. Looks divine!
Yes you can use buttermilk, its basically the same thing. You can also make your own which I often do with a soy or nut milk and vinegar.
