Substitute for Buttermilk

KC_Cooker's Note:

I always seem to not have buttermilk on hand when I need it. I've used the powdered milk and vinegar version of this which works well, but today I didn't have any powdered milk! This substitution that I found on the internet works just as well.

This substitution is a life saver with how many times I need buttermilk for recipes! Now I can make them more often thanks to you!

Used this for Buttermilk Bread-ABM with great success. However, I had to make some modification. First, I used 1% milk with 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice but somehow the mixture did not thicken up like buttermilk should be. So I added 1/2 tsp of white wine vinegar which solved the problem.

I've used this recipe several times now and it is great, so much cheaper than buying buttermilk and the bonus is you can make the quantity you need so no waste. Thank you KC_Cooker
