What to do if you don’t have buttermilk at home

There are several popular methods of substituting buttermilk. Choose the best one for you based on what you have at hand:

• 1 cup of buttermilk=1 tablespoon of white vinegar + 1 cup of milk
• 1 cup buttermilk=1 tablespoon lemon juice + 1 cup milk
• 1 cup of buttermilk=1 cup of plain yogurt
• 1 cup of buttermilk=1 and ¾ teaspoons of tartaric acid + 1 cup of milk

Mix and let stand for about 5 minutes. This will allow the milk to curdle slightly, giving it a buttermilk-like texture and flavor.
