How to Make Buttermilk Substitute
Description
The buttermilk substitute is made by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice or vinegar. When combined, the acid causes the milk to curdle slightly and thicken over about 5 minutes, creating a texture and acidity similar to traditional buttermilk. This substitute can be used in recipes requiring buttermilk to provide moisture and acidity to baked goods or other dishes.
Other suitable substitutes include milk paired with cream of tartar, or thinning sour cream or plain yogurt with milk or water to achieve the desired consistency. Kefir can also be used as a direct replacement due to its natural tangy yogurt-like characteristics.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar, fresh
Instructions
- Combine ingredients and stir to mix.
- Let sit 5 minutes, mixture will thicken as it sits.
Notes
- Expect the milk to slightly curdle and thicken after resting; stir before use.
- Alternative substitutes include milk with cream of tartar, or thinned sour cream or plain yogurt.
- Kefir can be used directly in place of buttermilk with no alteration.
