Making your own buttermilk is a simple and quick process that requires just two ingredients: milk and an acid. The acid reacts with the milk proteins, causing the mixture to thicken and become tart, similar to store-bought buttermilk.
Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk (2% or 1% milk will also work)
1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar
Instructions:
Pour the milk into a measuring cup or glass.
Add the lemon juice or vinegar to the milk.
Stir the mixture gently to combine.
Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
