Hi, today I am making buttermilk substitute.

Do you need buttermilk for cupcake recipes? Buttermilk is not available in certain Asian countries. But if you have milk and lemon juice (or white vinegar), you can make it yourself at home. Buttermilk is a slightly sour milk after all.

Buttermilk substitute. Make an occasionally used ingredient with everyday ingredients. :)
