What can I use if I don’t have buttermilk?
All you need to make a substitute for buttermilk in baking recipes is milk and white vinegar, or lemon juice. I typically opt for 2% or whole milk and fresh lemon juice, but bottled will also do the trick. Measure one tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice into a liquid measuring cup.
