How to Prepare Buttermilk Substitutes?
Buttermilk recipes are less, but when you try one, you cannot do away with this magic ingredient which imparts the special taste to that dish. You have to buy buttermilk every time you prepare a buttermilk recipe, and then store the remaining buttermilk in the refrigerator, only to be thrown away later once it expires. So most people prefer buttermilk substitutes to the real buttermilk, as the substitutes can be easily prepared without incurring any extra expenses. Here are some recipes to make buttermilk substitutes. • 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.
