Buttermilk substitutes
For 1 cup buttermilk, use:
- 1
1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar, plus milk to make 1 cup
Stir and let it stand 5 to 10 minutes until it thickens slightly. Works in pancakes, biscuits, cakes and marinades.
- 2
¾ cup plain yogurt mixed with ¼ cup milk
Thicker and tangier than the lemon version. Good in baking and dressings.
- 3
1¾ teaspoons cream of tartar whisked into 1 cup milk
Mix the cream of tartar with a little of the milk first so it doesn't clump.
