*If, like me, you can’t get your hands on caster sugar, grind granulated sugar in the coffee grinder. If you add a couple of vanilla pods, it make a delicious vanilla sugar to use in desserts. You can leave the pods whole and take them out for use in puddings, they still flavour the sugar just fine.

**No buttermilk here either, so I make “mock” buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar to a cup of milk, stir and let stand for about 15 minutes.
