Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes, but the texture will be less fluffy. You can make a buttermilk substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.

About this recipe.
What other toppings can I use?
While honey is traditional, you can also enjoy tiganites with fruit, nuts, cinnamon, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar. My personal favorite is a dollop of Greek yogurt!
