Substitute for buttermilk in baking
These verified substitutions effectively replicate the acidity and texture of buttermilk required for successful baking.
Milk + Lemon Juice
1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice
The acid in lemon juice reacts with baking soda to create the lift needed for fluffy cakes and biscuits.
Kefir
1 cup kefir
As a fermented dairy product, kefir mimics buttermilk's tang and thickness while ensuring a tender crumb.
Soy Milk + Acid
1 cup soy milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice
Unsweetened soy milk curdled with acid works as a viable vegan alternative that provides necessary acidity for leavening.
