Content: Or maybe you knew going in that it said buttermilk, but you balked at spending the money to buy a whole quart when you only needed a small amount. Fear not. Any of these substitutes can be used in place of buttermilk, and they'll save you a little money, too. What You'll Need
All you need to create your own batch of buttermilk is regular milk—just a little less than a cup—and a tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Preparation
Place the white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup and add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line. Now let the mixture stand for 5 to 10 minutes, long enough for the milk to thicken and curdle. Voila—buttermilk! Use as much of the batch as your recipe calls for. If you're cooking for someone who has a dairy sensitivity, this works with non-dairy milk, too. If you only have soy milk or almond milk in the fridge, that's fine, but you'll want to stick to an unflavored variety.
