Cooking tips
What's called buttermilk in foreign recipes and translated as "buttermilk" is actually curdled milk, prepared either the traditional way or from milk fermented with lemon juice. Therefore, this recipe calls for curdled milk.
Any food coloring will do, in the shade of red you like best.
