Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1
Mix 1 cup of whole milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
Note
The acidity in buttermilk tenderizes the gluten (protein) in flour, plus it works with baking soda better than plain milk by both neutralizing the flavor of the soda at the same time it is activating it, providing wonderful leavening.
Info
Buttermilk may also be made as a by product of the butter making process.
