Buttermilk Substitute

Have a recipe that calls for buttermilk? Don't have buttermilk? Try one of these:

(each is equivalent to 1 cup of buttermilk, so adjust accordingly)

• 1 cup plain yogurt


• 1 cup of sour cream


• 1 tablespoon lemon juice plus enough milk to make 1 cup


• 1 tablespoon of vinegar plus enough milk to make 1 cup


• 1 cup milk plus 1 3/4 tablespoons cream of tartar


• 1/4 cup buttermilk powder and 1 cup water

It is important to note that buttermilk should not be substituted with regular milk. Buttermilk is thicker and more acidic than regular milk.
