Shaziya
Ever found yourself mid-recipe only to realize you’re out of buttermilk? This quick and easy substitute saves the day in just 5 minutes, using ingredients you likely already have.
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1 cup milk (8 fl oz / 240 ml)
Measure the milk into a jug
Stir lemon juice or vinegar into the milk. Stir to combine.
Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes at room temperature until the milk begins to curdle and becomes acidic.
Use in place of buttermilk in the recipe as it calls for. And if you don’t use it straight away store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
