Can enjoy it now
Notes
Adding baking soda to the curd mixture and allowing it to rest for a while will help to froth.
Vinegar added to milk will curdle it to make buttermilk. Helps to get a soft texture to the cuppies.
1 cup castor sugar will make it just sweet enough. Can add more if you like it on the sweeter side.
