One of the easiest ways to make buttermilk is to mix a small amount of lemon juice into milk. The lemon adds a pleasant tangy flavor to the buttermilk. Pour 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into a liquid measuring cup. Add milk to reach the 1 cup mark. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. 02

Vinegar is a good kitchen chemical for making homemade buttermilk because it's readily available and adds acid without making a big change to the flavor of the buttermilk. Of course, you can use flavored vinegar if it works for your recipe. Pour 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into a liquid measuring cup. Add milk to reach the 1 cup mark.
