How to Make Buttermilk (Homemade Buttermilk Recipe)
Description
Homemade buttermilk is made by stirring 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar or lemon juice into 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for about 5 minutes. During this time, the acid causes the milk to curdle slightly, thickening it and adding a slight tang.
This quick preparation offers a convenient alternative to store-bought buttermilk and can be used immediately in recipes requiring buttermilk’s acidity and moisture. The mild sour flavor can enhance baked goods like pancakes, biscuits, and cakes.
Use this homemade buttermilk in any recipe that calls for buttermilk when you lack the commercial product. It provides similar chemical properties for leavening and flavor development.
Store any unused homemade buttermilk in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within three days. Do not let it sit out at room temperature for long before use.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or lemon juice
Instructions
- Stir together the milk and acid (either vinegar or lemon juice) and set it aside for 5 minutes before using.
Notes
- Store homemade buttermilk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- The recipe yields 1 cup of buttermilk; multiply proportions as needed for larger amounts.
- Use within 5 minutes of preparing or refrigerate promptly to maintain freshness.
- Bottled lemon juice can be used in place of fresh lemon juice if needed.
