Method

Making Milk

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly and curdles, creating a buttermilk substitute.

  2. 2

    Adjust to Taste

    If desired, add 1 teaspoon of salt or sugar to enhance the flavor, stirring well to dissolve.

Making Buttermilk

  1. 3

    Combine and Let Sit

    For a buttermilk alternative, mix 1 cup of water with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes. This will create a tangy buttermilk substitute.

  2. 4

    Use in Recipes

    This homemade buttermilk can now be used in any recipe that calls for buttermilk, such as pancakes or biscuits.
