How to:

Use up sour milk

Baking is a brilliant way to use up sour milk, as it aids in the rising of scones, breads and flapjacks, giving them a lighter, fluffier texture.

It isn't necessary to pur the milk through a muslin cloth - simply mix it together if it has separated.

If you find a litre too much for one recipe, remember that it can be frozen in smaller quantities to use as and when required.
