Cocoa butter is quite a hard fat, but gives a nice soft result.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-21964853629547470452012-03-20T07:19:42.889+00:002012-03-20T07:19:42.889+00:00Kate, gone off milk is horrible!!!

But I'm lucky enough to be able to get raw milk and that mostly goes sour rather than going off - it sort of goes thick like buttermilk and tastes, well "sour". Although you have to be careful, sometimes it just goes off. Alternatively, you can add lemon juice to milk to make it go sour.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-14337885678263591242012-03-20T07:16:30.874+00:002012-03-20T07:16:30.874+00:00Jaime, you could just put a squeeze of lemon into ...Jaime, you could just put a squeeze of lemon into the milk to make it sour - that works as a good substitution.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-37625965605642316312012-03-20T07:14:49.094+00:002012-03-20T07:14:49.094+00:00Thanks Celia, although all credit goes to Dan rath...Thanks Celia, although all credit goes to Dan rather than me. I got the idea after making his tea cakes where he suggests vegetarians can use white chocolate rather than lard. The chocolate grater works really well - once I sussed that putting a bowl underneath to catch the chocolate worked much better than a plate. I used to just get melted chocolate all over my hands!Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-29555218057869646522012-03-20T07:11:01.703+00:002012-03-20T07:11:01.703+00:00Thanks Jo.

I didn't used to use sugar in my scones at all, but have been seduced recently because of making chocolate scones which somehow seem to call for a bit of sugar.
