Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

I prefer at least some buttermilk topped up with ordinary milk but either way the taste is excellent. There is no need for a rolling pin as the mixture is easy to get into shape by hand. Using greaseproof paper for the flour when rolling saves on clean up time. Add chopped shallots of chives to taste.
