bottle of vinegar and cup of homemade buttermilk Sometimes a baking recipe will call for a small amount of buttermilk. Not only do I never have that on hand, I don't feel like spending $4 or more on a carton when all I need is 1 cup. I found this nifty tip in one of my cookbooks years ago and haven't bought buttermilk since. I can't taste the difference with the end results, either. Tastes just as good!

This has saved me $, and I always have the ingredients on hand to make this.

Total Time: 5 minutes

Yield: 1 cup

Source: Better Homes and Garden Cookbook

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar
about 1 cup milk or plain yogurt

Steps:

Put either 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice or distilled white vinegar into a 1 cup measure.
Add either milk or plain yogurt to fill measure to the 1 cup mark.
Let sit 5 minutes before using.
Voila! Buttermilk! Happy baking.:)

Pin it!
