I just read in "Cook's" magazine that they favoured mixing with lemon
juice over vinigar. The lemon juice version tasted slightly better and
was not as harsh. I have heard this one several times but have not yet
tried it. I plan to the next time a recipe requires butter/soured milk
as I do not stock that very often.
