Homemade Buttermilk offers that gentle, slightly tart flavor you expect from traditional buttermilk, giving recipes a soft, well-balanced finish that works in both sweet and savory baking.
In a small glass liquid measuring cup, add the milk, then pour the lemon juice or vinegar over the top.
Gently stir and let it stand for 5 minutes. Use the curdled milk in place of cultured buttermilk.
