Craving BUTTERMILK PANCAKES in Hong Kong...

I really miss home made buttermilk panckes and scones but Its almost impossible to find fresh buttermilk in Hong Kong, or even the rest of Asia. But fortunately I just received this useful tip from a reader... For substitute buttermilk, with each cup of fresh milk add 1 tbsp of lemon juice and let the mixture stand for 5 minutes. Buttermilk is essentially partially curdled milk so the lemon juice does the trick!

Also here is a good buttermilk pancake recipe:

Actually I find this particular recipe site very useful as it has videos for many of their recipes and techniques. I've had my helper watch the videos from time to time. Its much more effective than just learning from a cook book or written recipes. The site is from the US so I lot of the western and Latino recipes are quite good but I'm not so keen on their Asian recipes.
