I've have always added white vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk as a buttermilk substitution. I read in Taste of Home that you can also use 1 cup of plain yogurt (seems to me like it might change the consistency though) or 1 3/4 teaspoons cream of tarter plus 1 cup of milk, to substitute 1 cup of buttermilk. I hadn't heard of these options before and I thought I'd pass them along in case this is helpful.

Before you all think I suddenly have a nice camera and amazing photography skills :), let me just confess I stole this photo from the internet.
ReplyDeleteinteresting... i knew about the lemon and vinegar but not the others. good to know if i get in a pinch! I also like to buy the powdered buttermilk.
ReplyDeleteI have also mixed 1 cup milk & 1 cup sour cream. Seems to work out well.
ReplyDeleteHow funny I never thought about making my own buttermilk. Cool ideas! Thanks!
