Buttermilk: is a slightly sour milk used in the preparation of pancakes, and some breads. It does not contain butter and it is slightly thicker than regular milk.

It is GREAT for baking. In fact, the combination of buttermilk and baking powder or baking soda; will make fluffier, tender and tasty treats.

People don’t usually buy buttermilk unless they are preparing an specific recipe. The Problem? We end up with a almost full container of buttermilk sitting in the refrigerator.

But I have a solution for that…Make your own buttermilk substitute!!!!

Easy to prepare and with only TWO ingredients, Hello! you can’t beat that!

here is the recipe:

• 1 Cup of whole milk or 2% milk
• 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.

Add the lemon juicer or vinegar to the milk. Let it stand for about 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature. The milk will curdle.

Use it in your recipe as you would use buttermilk.

Easy, right?
