I don't buy buttermilk because I rarely use it. I needed a half a cup so I halved this recipe. It worked for me and I used the lemon. -
Sunday morning blues, no buttermilk off to www.food.com "voila" brunch is on again and I don't have to drive to town in a snow storm yeah! Well I used the lemon juice adaptation and for our favourite pancakes my DH did not notice any difference and what difference I noticed was "extremely" marginal. I allowed the milk to curdle for 45 minutes though as it didn't seem to want to in the beginning. Absolutely delicious will use again anytime. Thank you for posting dojemi. -
Used this to make Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Biscuits and they turned out wonderful. Tried one batch with cream of tartar and the other batch with lemon juice. Both were a hit! Thank you! -
Sorry, this for some reason did not work for me. I tried making this with a pancake recipe last saturday and it made the pancakes tase bitter. I tried the recipe again, with plain store bought buttermilk and it was much better. Thanks, anyway! -
I can never keep buttermilk on hand as half of it spoils before I can use it all. This recipe works well for me. I can make what I need and then there's no waste. Very useful!!
