BUTTERMILK SUBSTITUTE!! Got 1;)

....try souring milk to use in the place of buttermilk.

Here is the easy how-to-do:

- Warm the milk slightly for best results. (Microwave on HIGH for short
periods of time i.e. 25 seconds, then stir well. Repeat until milk has been
warmed through.)

- To each cup of warmed milk add 1 1/2 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
OR
1 1/3 Tablespoons of cider vinegar to above milk amount. Stir well.

- Allow this mixture to set while putting the rest of the ingredients for
the recipe together. Allowing the milk to set will give it time to thicken.
The soured milk should have the consistency of buttermilk or yogurt. This
proportion can be doubled. Note: At times the soured milk will be extra
thick, a bit more soured milk may have to be added to the recipe to get the
proper consistency.

- Plan to use the same amount of soured milk as is called for buttermilk in
the recipe.

- If the recipe only calls for 1/2 cup of buttermilk...it is best to 'sour'
a whole cup of milk for a more even consistency. Just refrigerate the
leftover soured milk and try using it for buttermilk pancakes the next day!
Milk that you have soured will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Place in a tightly covered container.

- If using skimmed milk, 1%, 2%, or evaporated milk when souring the
milk....the consistency might be a little less thick than buttermilk or
yogurt. If that proves to be the case, try using just a little less of the
soured milk to the recipe so there will still be the proper consistency
needed for a particular recipe. Learn to trust the eye for the proper
consistency in a recipe and not necessarily rely on the liquid amount
called for in a recipe.

- Use of a non-dairy substitute to replace buttermilk in a recipe: In
testing of non-dairy substitutes, I have learned that some non-dairy
substitutes work using the above method and others don't. Don't be afraid
to experiment with brands that are available in your area.

- If experimenting and wish to try to substitute buttermilk, or soured
milk in a gluten-free recipe that calls for regular milk, it is suggested
that you will need to add baking soda to the recipe if it doesn't call for
any. Add the baking soda to the dry ingredients and mix well. Do not add it
to the soured milk (some recipes may call for it to be added to the milk)
as it will cause the leaven quality in the baking soda to be lost in the
milk and not the batter/dough.

- Use 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda for 1/2 cup of milk. This proportion
seems to work well for gluten-free recipe conversions.

Just add a Tbsp. of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Same thing.

You can replace it with soured milk, 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk, then let sit for 10 minutes to sour.

Heavy Cream!

Happy cooker is right. Just put the tablespoon of vinegar into the bottom of the measuring cup and then fill it with milk as you usually would.

No buttermilk in your refrigerator? No problem! Replace buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar to a measuring cup and filling with milk to the 1-cup line; let stand for 5 minutes.

yep milk and lemon juice . I keep the dried buttermilk in the fridge . Just mix with water.

Yes, you can make "sour milk." This is a combination of 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk. Stir and let sit for about 5 minutes before use. You would never notice the difference!
