Recipe Notes
1. If you do not have buttermilk, then just substitute it by adding 1 tablespoon ( 15 ml) lemon juice or vinegar to ½ cup (125ml) milk.
2.Top and fill with an assortment of seeds, like sunflower, pumpkin and linseed before baking, and serve with a spread of butter for breakfast. It really does make the most amazing breakfast.
3.Avoid overmixing the batter, as overmixing will create a chewy dry texture when baked.
