For a richer flavor, try using a high-quality, European-style butter in place of shortening. Also, feel free to add raisins or caraway seeds for a more traditional twist. If you don't have time to let the milk sour naturally, you can use buttermilk instead. Simply substitute the milk and vinegar mixture with 1 cup of buttermilk. Serve warm with butter and your favorite jam or alongside a hearty stew.
