In sometimes in recipes they ask for BUTTERMILK. Where I live it is not known. How can I replace it? with cream? or Sourcream? Thanks for any help or advise in this matter.
Hi 2belucile. Welcome to DC. Here's a link explaining what buttermilk is: Buttermilk.
When I don't have buttermilk, I substitute soured milk. If the recipe calls for 1 cup buttermilk, you can put 1 tablespoon lemon juice into 1 cup of plain milk. Let sit for a little while until it curdles a but, then use it. It works just fine.
Thanks for the help to Katie, Barb and Andy. From now on, if I see a recipe that asks for buttermilk, I can try to make it instead of just look for something else. Have a nice evening
I've used plain yogurt and sour cream as well. If it is a recipe where the fat content is important to finished product, be sure not to use a nonfat substitute.
