Buttermilk Substitute

I made it with 1/2 & 1/2 and lemon. It was amazing! It's my go to for buttermilk! We don't drink it but I love to cook with it so this recipe is perfect!

I add one tablespoon of lemon juice to a cup THEN add milk to equal a cup. Som recipes need exact measurements. I use the lemon for baking, but found that vinegar works well too. I am going to soak the chicken I am frying today in buttermilk made here before breading.

Perfect for when you don't have buttermilk on hand.

so simple to make and amazing flavor

As I use only fresh lemons, it may not have enough of the acid level to change the milk. I added a tsp of Rice vinegar so as not change the culture too much. I used this to soaked my green tomatoes and tomatillos in prior to frying. I was very pleased with the quality and taste.

Thank you so much for this. My friends and family love my cole slaw, but I end up with a carton of buttermilk left over since my recipe only calls for up to 1/2 cup (doubled recipe) . Thank you again for this shortcut.

Worked like a charm for my Banana Bread. Made the bread lighter. Love this 1.

I made this because Jewel-Osco was out of buttermilk and I was making soda bread. It was wonderful, I will use this receipe again.

Life saver, I had no butter milk at my job and use this recipe and it worked great!

Works great never have to worry about having buttermilk for a recipe

Itwice the milk d=did not become thick or curdle. I used 2% milk. full fat milk with one tablespoon of white vinegar made very good substitute buttermilk.

A very handy substitute as I never seem to have real buttermilk on hand.

Perfect!

It worked perfectly. Cool tip.

Worked great! I used a 2 to 1 ratio of half & half mixed with water and a table spoon of lemon juice. Makes me wonder why buttermilk is so expensive in the store.

I made this and used it in some homemade gluten free biscuits I was making and they turned out great. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Now I won't have to spend money on buttermilk that I never use all of it.

I would use this recipe again, very useful to know.

Worked out perfectly for baking!

I needed this soooo bad. I've added it to my quick find of recipes.

It came out great.

This worked better with warm water. So, do you put it in the refrigerator to have it cold for biscuits? Will it still work as buttermilk after being chilled?

My substitute butter milk recipe worked perfectly. Thanks!

You can also use vinegar instead of lemon juice! Was amazing and worked perfectly for my biscuit recipe. We use it every time.

I used vinegar instead of lemon juice. So easy and cheap to make!!
