Mix a tablespoon of lemon juice with a cup (250ml) of milk, then just let it sit for a bit and there ya go! I use that all the time :)

In order to make a cup of buttermilk, you need one cup of milk (preferably whole milk), one tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Add lemon juice or vinegar to the milk and mix well with a spoon. If you are using lemon juice, make sure to sieve it, so as to remove the seeds and pulp. (You can even use lemon juice concentrate.) Wait for five to ten minutes. The lemon juice/vinegar will help to curdle the milk and this mixture can be used as a buttermilk substitute.
Another method to make a buttermilk substitute is by adding 1? teaspoons of cream of tartar to one cup of plain milk. Mix it well with the milk and keep it like that for ten minutes. You can use the curdled solution as a buttermilk substitute in buttermilk recipes.
You can replace buttermilk with yogurt too. All you have to do is to check the amount of buttermilk needed for the recipe and replace it with the same amount of yogurt. But only plain yogurt will serve the purpose and not the flavored ones, which can spoil the flavor of the dish it is being used in.
A buttermilk substitute can be prepared by adding equal amounts of milk and yogurt. If you need one cup of buttermilk for preparing a dish, you have to take ? cup of yogurt and ? cup of plain milk. Mix well and you can use the solution as it curdles after five to ten minutes

You can buy buttermilk at the store. Look for it in the dairy section. It's also great for making pancakes!

FYI everyone else's answers offer you a substitute for buttermilk which work very well, but it's not actual buttermilk.

Just put a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar in a measuring cup and add enough milk to make it all equal 1 cup. Then let it sit for 5-10 minutes while you prep the rest of the recipe.

LOL, no that's not necessary. Put two tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice in a cup of whole milk and let it sit until it thickens.
