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. A typical substitute for buttermilk in a recipe is 1 cup of milk (whole or reduced fat) and 1 tablespoon lemon juice for every cup of buttermilk needed. (the lemon juice is added for taste reasons only and not absolutely necessary.)
