Notes
Store: Homemade buttermilk will last as long as regular milk. Usually 1 -2 weeks. Store in the refrigerator in a glass bottle or an airtight container.
Dairy-Free Buttermilk Substitution: Instead of using 1 cup of milk, use coconut milk. So, add vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of your preferred dairy-free milk, stir, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and then use it as the recipe calls for.
Vegan Buttermilk Substitution: Instead of using 1 cup of milk, use soymilk or any other plant-based milk you like. So, add vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of your preferred plant-based milk, stir, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and then use it as the recipe calls for.
