How to make Buttermilk
This tip on how to make buttermilk out of milk and vinegar is great as a substitute for real buttermilk in recipes.
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk heavy cream, or half and half
- 1-2 tablespoons vinegar white distilled vinegar or lemon juice
Instructions
- Mix vinegar into milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, I do find 10 minutes does quite better.
- It will curdle a little bit, that is the vinegar doing its magic on the milk.
- The result will be tangy-tasting milk, just like buttermilk.
- I've been adding more vinegar than 1 tablespoon and it's been great, and if the milk is at room temperature or heated in the microwave for 15 seconds it's thicker. Great for a real substitute in recipes.
