@Windy Miller - "i" see what you mean - @Suzie... that's "Raisins". Yes it is my photo - hope you like it? Sorry I forgot to add the raisins into the ingredients list - now added. no I am saying I do use C of T.... cos if you can't get Soured Cream (the traditional ingredient) milk and the C of T work equally as well - give it a go and you will see what I mean.
Raisins with an I please.
Is this your recipe and photo - is the photo what is produced via your recipe? It looks like it has raisons or some other fruit in it but you don't mention them in the ingredients and you say you don't use C of T but its listed! Strange altogether...
And if you can't get buttermilk, soured milk is fine. leave it out of the fridge for a day or two, or sour it with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice.
I've never used cream of tartar though...
