ReplyDelete@ anonymous: to make homemade buttermilk - measure 1 tablespoon of vinegar into 1 measuring cup and add milk (liquid like peak or anyone of ur choice) to make up to 1 cup. Leave to rest for at least one hour and you will have a curdled looking mixture. that's ur buttermilk

ReplyDeleteSazzy, please help out with the measurement in terms of kg. what are the measurement of all ingredient if i want to use 1kg of flour?
ReplyDeleteHello dear, what I normally do when I want to make more than the recipe states is to get an eqivalent measurement for 1 of the major ingredients. In this case, I choose the flour. 21/2 cups of flour is eqivalent to 350g so if you want to use 1kg of flour scale the recipe by 3 (although this give flour of about 1.050kg). Hope this helps
DeleteHi, beautiful recipe. One question though. Pls what type of red colour should I buy? Wilton has different red colours. Which exactly should I buy?
ReplyDelete@ Babasola Joy, I used liquid food colour not paste colour. The wiltons colours you are talking about are paste colours right?
