You can freeze any buttermilk you dont use, although it usually has quite a long expiry date.

I have these in the oven as we speak. I will decorate them with little red hearts and sneak them into my hubbies and childrens lunch boxes tomorrow with a wee love note.

You can add lemon juice to milk to make butter milk very easy

Don't use dutch chocolate. Use wollies brand chocolate for Pams brand. You need to use cocoa powder that is not Dutch processed.
