Yes, add one teaspoon of vinegar into one cup of milk; for instance, I use cider vinegar. Let the vinegar/milk mixture set for a couple minutes and milk will curdle a bit and become sour to give it the buttermilk taste needed in the recipe.
If you're asking for a buttermilk substitute, place one tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar in a one cup measure. Fill to one cup mark with regular milk and let sit for five minutes. Use for buttermilk in any [[Q/Can you replace milk for buttermilk in a recipe#|recipe]]. I don't think plain milk would give the correct flavor to the recipe.
Buttermilk. Buttermilk comes from skim milk, too, so in a way, it can be considered healthy! If you have no buttermilk, you can substitute regular milk with about a teaspoon of vinegar.
Not sure if it can or cannot be bought. If you need a cup for baking reasons, use a cup of regular milk and add some vinegar to make it clabber, a tablespoon or so should do it.
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.
Buttermilk is actually an acid base. (vinegar+milk). If you use them interchangeably you may create an awesome science experiment (baking soda/powder) but not a Yummy cake!
it makes it more acidic, using buttermilk isn't critical, you can just use ordinary milk but if you want a substitute you could always use milk and a little bit of vinegar.
The standard substution for buttermilk is to add one teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar to one cup of regular milk, which will give pretty much the same result as commercial buttermilk.
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. It works best if the milk is not icy cold. Add the vinegar but don't stir. In a few minutes it will have clotted and is ready to pour in the batter.
Well you can use oil to make a cake and you cant use vinegar to make one!
If you are referring to evaporated milk you can use a thick mixture of powdered milk (half powder, half water), or you can use condensed milk, but it will contain sugar. I have also used powdered coffee whitener (Coffee-Mate).
Melt a tablespoon of real butter in a cup of milk. It isn't a perfect substitution, but it should work reasonably well.Clarification:Adding butter to milk as a substitue for buttermilk will not work. Contrary to its name, buttermilk has no butter in it; it is actually very low in fat. The best subtitution for buttermilk is a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar to each cup of milk. Since buttermilk has a higher acid content than "sweet milk", the addition of an acid will result in a substitution extremely close to that of buttermilk.Simply add the lemon juice or vinegar and stir, then let stand a few minutes for the milk to "curdle", and it will look, taste and work pretty much the same as commercial buttermilk.
