A small pedanty point on baking and soda; you can substitute soured milk (squeeze a little lemon in and leave it in a warm place for a bit) for buttermilk. You basically need an acidic thing to get the bicarb doing its thing. I use the soured milk trick for making soda bread and soda scones, because buttermilk is had to find and seems very overpriced to me. (Although there'll be some cream of tartar in the self-raising flour, so for that recipe it's less important.) Marna
