How to Make Buttermilk
Description
To make homemade buttermilk, combine one cup of milk with one tablespoon of lemon juice and stir well. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for about five minutes, during which the milk will slightly curdle and thicken, simulating the texture and acidity of buttermilk. This simple preparation can be used in any recipe that calls for buttermilk, offering a convenient substitute.
Alternative acids such as white vinegar or cream of tartar may be used in equal quantities instead of lemon juice if preferred. The resulting mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for one to two weeks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Stir milk and lemon juice together until combined.
- Let sit for 5 minutes before using in a recipe.
Notes
- If lemon juice is unavailable, substitute with white vinegar or cream of tartar in the same quantity (1 tablespoon per cup of milk).
- Store homemade buttermilk in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
