Turn your regular milk into buttermilk.

If you have a recipe that calls for buttermilk but you don’t have any in the house, there’s no need to run to the store. You may have the ingredients at home to make buttermilk at home. With some milk and cream of tartar or lemon juice, you can soon have the buttermilk you need.

Things You'll Need

• Pitcher
• Milk
• Cream of tartar or lemon juice

Instructions

1. Add 1 cup milk and 1 3/4 tablespoons of cream of tartar or lemon juice in a pitcher.

2. Stir the mixture and let it sit out for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir it again once the milk begins to curdle.

3. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator until it is chilled. You can then use this for the baking or cooking.
