Content: So let's take a look at what the four methods to making your own homemade buttermilk are. The Spruce / Zorica Lakonic
How to Make Buttermilk With Vinegar or Lemon Juice
This first method is a really easy method. Just add one tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to one cup of milk and let it sit out at room temperature for about 10 minutes. If you need more than a cup, just keep the ratios the same. For two cups, use two cups of milk and two tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar and so on. As we noted, this method will not give you a true cultured buttermilk, but rather, acidified buttermilk. This means you can use it in a recipe for biscuits or pancakes or the like, and the acid will activate the baking powder or baking soda just as it should. The Spruce / Zorica Lakonic
How to Make Buttermilk From Yogurt
Another fast and simple method calls for taking 3/4 cup of yogurt or sour cream and thinning it out with 1/4 cup of milk (or even plain water). This will make a cup of "buttermilk," although just like the first method, it's not a true buttermilk, but it will be an adequate substitute in whatever recipe calls for buttermilk. How to Make Cultured Buttermilk
If you aren't in a big hurry or if you're just interested in the process, here's how you can make your own cultured buttermilk from scratch.
