Homemade Buttermilk Recipe

Need buttermilk for your recipe but don’t have it on hand? Here are 2 easy homemade buttermilk recipes to make your own instant & cultured buttermilk!

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 cup 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup milk (any kind of milk: regular milk or non-dairy milk)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or vinegar (Any vinegar: white vinegar, apple cider vinegar)

Instructions

1. Pour the milk into a measuring cup or bowl.

2. Add the lemon juice or vinegar and stir gently to combine.

3. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly and forms clumps.

4. Use immediately in your favorite recipe, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

To make Cultured Buttermilk, you will need:

1 cup milk of regular milk or non-dairy milk

1 tablespoon of active culture (Yogurt, Greek yogurt, Kefir or Vegan Yogurt Starter Culture)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Heat the milk to about 86 degrees Fahrenheit. You can do this by heating it on the stovetop or microwave.

2. Add the culture to the milk and stir gently to combine.

3. Cover the bowl or pot with a lid or towel and let it sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours. The longer you let it ferment, the more sour the yogurt and Buttermilk will be.

4. Once it reaches your desired level of sourness, transfer the yogurt to a jar or container and store it in the fridge. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
