    Cook’s tip Use the remaining buttermilk to replace some of the milk in scones and soda bread, or add to a spicy veg soup. You could also try this recipe with full-fat Greek or natural yogurt. Alternatively, you can make your own buttermilk by adding lemon juice to fresh milk, then letting it stand for 5 minutes until slightly thickened, before using.
