Happy to help Fatima. It will be awesome to hear how you tweaked it and it turned out. Whatever, enjoy the experiment and the scones.

Thanks for the advice, will defnitely try out and send feedback.

Hi Fatima, thanks for checking. As I am not in South Africa, and not that familiar with Maas, I am not 100% sure.

I have done some research and from that it seems like, yes, you can substitute Amasi/Maas with a natural yogurt or buttermilk in recipes. Also, as you most probably know, Maas is a thick curdled sour fermented milk product that is sometimes compared to cottage cheese or plain yogurt but has a much stronger flavor, so you need to take a look at your lactose free yogurt and see how it compares with Maas.

As you’re talking about lactose free yogurt and I do not know the brand or how thick it is, you may have to play around with it and maybe make a small sample batch of scones and experiment. I am not sure how it will work out, but feel free to try it, and please let me know the results. This is a very interesting question and I would love to find out how you adapted the recipe.

Lastly, please note that when changing and swapping out ingredients, the texture and taste of the scones will most probably not be the same, so you will have to be careful when substituting, but it is most probably doable. Good luck

Dear Dinah. Oh I am so happy to hear your family love these wonderful scones. Keep baking them for them, the will enjoy every morsel weekly. Thanks for letting us know it turned out so well. Enjoy

Thnks

Portia. Thank you for getting in touch. I have cross and double checked and the ingredients listed in this recipe is correct as per the original poster and person that made this recipe and shared it in my FB Group. If you feel it’s too much feel free to make changes but as mentioned this is what I received and I trust this lady when it comes to baking. Please note that should you make changes then it will be different but that’s your own choice. Hope you enjoy it as you make it for yourself.

This sour milk receipe scones salt is top much 1/4 and baking powder and self raising flour?
