Notes

  • More buttermilk substitute options:
  • Dairy-Free and Vegan: Instead of dairy milk, use coconut milk or soy milk! Just add 1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice to a 1 cup measuring cup, then fill the rest of the way with coconut or soy milk. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes then use in recipe!
  • How to Freeze Buttermilk: Buttermilk freezes great for up to 3 months. You could even pour in an ice cube tray so it's easy to use small amounts as needed.
