Real talk: Buttermilk is an annoying ingredient. You hardly ever need it, it’s only sold in a huge carton, and the recipe never calls for that much. Luckily, you can make your own in a few different ways.
Our Three Favorite Substitutes:
- Milk + lemon juice (or vinegar)
- Yogurt + water (or milk)
- Sour cream + water (or milk)
How To Use It:
Use your substitution concoction just as you would actual buttermilk, cup for cup! Some of our favorite buttermilk recipes: fluffy pancakes, homemade biscuits, red velvet cake, and blueberry scones. It’s also great for brining chicken before deep-frying.
