I don't know, but I guess that the batter with baking soda and/or powder would be a bit lighter and fluffier, as the leavening agent reacts with the buttermilk. However, I don't know if merely milk will be acid enough for it to react.

Heston Blumenthal did puffed rice in his risotto episode. From what I can gather from the video, here's his way: 1.5 cups of cooked basmati rice (he cooked it for a little under 10 minutes) 1 tea spoon saffron (looked like something like that) Mix the saffron with the rice. Spread out evenly on a baking tray with parchment paper. Let it dry out in the oven for 1-2 hours at 60-70 C. Fry the rice at 190 C. It's done when it pops up to the surface. Put the rice on a piece of paper and let the excess oil drip off. Maybe you will have better luck with this one.

Nice first post! That omelette looks pretty buttery. Are those crystals of fleur de sel I see glistening? ← Thanks! It's Maldon sea salt.

Just a simple omelette with some rocket and breasola.
