It depends very much on the recipe in which the substitution is made. Buttermilk has a different acidity than whole milk, as well as less fat. Additional baking soda will need to be added and perhaps a bit of oil or butter, if buttermilk is substituted for whole milk.

Can you use evaporated milk to make buttermilk?
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.
Can you use regular milk in a recipe instead of buttermilk?
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.)
What can you use in cinnamon rolls instead of buttermilk?
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.
Can buttermilk replace half and half in a scone recipe?
Half and half is used in scone recipes to give a lightness of crumb and additional richness, both which are induced by the high fat levels in half-and-half (since it's half milk, half double cream). Milk (particularly whole milk) would be a better replacement for half and half in a scone recipe than buttermilk. Buttermilk is very much like plain yogurt; when it's used in recipes which do not require a slight acidity, the resulting baked good will have a peculiar taste. (It's great in recipes which use bicarbonate of soda as the only raising agent, as buttermilk reacts to neutralise it and give extra lift. But this is not the leavening process used in scones). Half and half (being half milk, half double cream) does not have anywhere near the same acidity as plain yogurt or buttermilk, making whole milk a better option (correct taste and higher fat content than buttermilk, making it more "similar" to half and half).
What is the best ingredient to use as a substitute for buttermilk in a recipe?
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.

Can you make cheese using powdered buttermilk?
You can make whipped cream from whipping cream. Besides have you smelled buttermilk?? Who would want to eat that on top of dessert?? Hi - you can make it from buttermilk but you also have to add heavy whipping cream, buttermilk is not stable enough on it's own to whip... if the smell were to bother you add a drop of vanilla of any edible essential oil, like lavender or rose... try this - 3/4 cup Whisk cream, 1/4 cup buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl until peaks form. Refrigerate for approx an hour.
What is the latest info that 2 percent milk is the same as whole milk?
