If you don't have the buttermilk on hand, put about 1 teaspoon of vinegar into 1/2 milk and let it sit for 20-30 minutes.

I buy powdered buttermilk in 5 pounds bags and store it in the freezer. Four tablespoons of buttermilk powder to one cup of water = 1 cup buttermilk.

I have never seen powdered buttermilk although I must admit that I have never really looked for it. I live in Australia and we don't always get the full range of products that you do in the States.

I love just drinking buttermilk so I might just try your tip hardcase and see how it goes. Probably would be okay for cooking but not that great for drinking but I am willing to give it a go.

I have used the vinegar in milk when I had not buttermilk powdered milk on hand. One of the local markets carries one brand of powdered buttermilk and I try to keep some around. Personally, I don't find either one suitable for drinking, but they work great in recipes.

Thank you. I had wondered but wouldn't have ever tried it to find out(I don't drink buttermilk).

Is that 1/2 cup ? Or 1/2 liter ? And does this work with all types of milk ?

hardcase

Combine one cup of milk (or soymilk) plus one tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar, and allow to stand for ten minutes OR Combine one cup of milk plus two teaspoons cream of tartar, and allow to stand for ten minutes OR Combine two parts plain yogurt plus one part milk OR plain, low-fat yogurt OR sour cream OR molasses (in batters that also call for baking soda) Cooking hints: Churn buttermilk may require longer baking times than ordinary commercial buttermilk.
