Several of you have asked if you can substitute milk for buttermilk in a recipe. You can, but it might not work. Baking soda reacts differently to buttermilk than to regular milk, so if your recipe has baking soda in it I wouldn’t substitute unless necessary.<\/p>\n

You don’t need to substitute milk for buttermilk because it is very easy to make buttermilk. All you need is milk and either vinegar or lemon juice. Add about a teaspoon of either to a little less than one cup of milk. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes then use in your recipe.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have lemon juice or vinegar you can use sour cream as a substitute for buttermilk. Just thin out the sour cream with regular milk and substitute.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned before I usually cook with powdered milk and buttermilk is no exception. You can buy powdered buttermilk and store it in the pantry. I just make it when I need it for a recipe. I know real buttermilk tastes better but the powdered works great in biscuits and pancakes.<\/p>\n

Remember don’t use buttermilk when a recipe calls for milk if the recipe has baking powder in it. Buttermilk is too acidic and your baked goods won’t rise correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
