Yes, it depends on what you're making, however because buttermilk is acidic it is generally used in recipes to control the leavening/rising process. A straight substitute of milk is less acidic and will result in overly fluffy pancakes, etc... You can sour regular milk by adding 1 T lemon juice to 1 c milk and let stand for about 5 minutes. You can also substitute plain yogurt.

Yes, but you have to first mix the evaporated milk with water (half evaporated milk and half water), then add 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice for each cup of the diluted evaporated milk. The acidity of the vinegar or lemon juice will give results very similar to that of buttermilk. You can also use whole milk in the same way as a substitution for buttermilk, being sure to add the vinegar or lemon juice.

For baking purposes, you can substitute 1 cup of whole or 2% milk + about 2 teaspoons of vinegar (cider or white) for every cup of buttermilk called for in the recipe.

Yes. Buttermilk was originally the milk left over after churning butter. Today it is actually a product of skim milk with organisms (yeasts) added to it to get the same flavor and creaminess.

(the lemon juice is added for taste reasons only and not absolutely necessary.)
