Social Distancing Low Sugar Chelsea Buns made with Soured Milk and Homemade Calamansi Jam
New batch on 14 May 2020: tried shaping the buns standing upright so that

This happens to the carton of fresh milk I've just opened yesterday; it was fine at sight and smell but when it's added to tea it turns a little curdy.
