Homemade Buttermilk
Print Pin VideoIf you don't have buttermilk on hand, or can't easily access it, you can make an easy homemade substitute that works great in baked goods!
IMPORTANT: For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided, as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 ml) milk
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) white vinegar - lemon juice okay too
Instructions
- Place 1 cup of milk in a bowl/cup, and remove 1 tablespoon of it (see note 1).
- Add in 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the milk and mix it together. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Your milk should now look curdled and is ready to use as buttermilk.

Notes
Note 1. The reason why you remove 1 tablespoon of the milk is so that you have exactly 1 cup of buttermilk when you add in the 1 tablespoon of vinegar. If you don't need to be so precise, then you can simply add in the 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the 1 cup of milk :)
