Plenty of times I needed buttermilk for a recipe and either I couldn't get to the shop or the supermarket was out of it.
I then found out I could make my own

Option 1: All-purpose use in breads, pastries, cakes, and other baked goods
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1 cup milk full cream
Option 2: Use for muffins, cakes, quickbreads, and scones
- 1 3/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 cup milk full cream
Option 3: Use for dense baked goods, dressings, and marinades
- 3/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk full cream
Instructions
- Simply stir or whisk ingredients together and let stand 5 minutes before using in any recipe calling for buttermilk.
- Be sure to make the appropriate measurement scaling adjustments needed for the amount of buttermilk called for in the recipe.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, you can use the first two options with non-dairy milk like oat, soy, or almond milk.
- Refrigeration:Store for up to 1 week in a sealed jar or container. Shake well before use.
- Freezing: Pour the substitute into a freezer-safe container, leaving some space at the top. For smaller portions, freeze in an ice cube tray and then transfer to a sealed container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
