1 tablespoon melted lard or butter
hot water to bind- anything from 6 tablespoons upwards.
pinch of salt

Mix together, roll out, cut out and bake for 10 minutes

250 g is 8 oz, which is one cup.

You Scottish by any chance?

Buttermilk.... if there are any other vegans on here, you can also add a tsp of vinegar to a cup of soymilk for recipes calling for buttermilk... it works very well

I use the powdered buttermilk, and I think it tastes better in baking than the milk+vinegar substitute (I used to use that). It's like using powdered milk, but instead its buttermilk.
