Create a quick and easy buttermilk substitute using common kitchen ingredients.
Measure out the milk into a small bowl.
Using whole milk will give a richer texture to your substitute.
Add the lemon juice to the milk and stir gently.
Ensure the lemon juice is evenly mixed for consistent curdling.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to curdle.
Allowing the mixture to sit ensures the acidity reacts properly with the milk.
Use the prepared mixture in your recipe as a buttermilk substitute.
This substitute works perfectly in recipes like pancakes or baked goods.
