How to Make Buttermilk at Home

Buttermilk is an amazing ingredient for pancakes, cakes, and even fried chicken but it is so annoying to keep on hand. Most recipes require only a little and those big cartons expire in the blink of an eye! Well worry not because this super-easy homemade buttermilk substitute works perfectly in all your recipes. I've made three types of substiitutions so no matter what you have in the pantry you're still covered!

Initially when I started baking I thought buttermilk is a mixture of butter and milk🤦🤦 LOL😂

So there’s no buttermilk sold where I am so this is definitely necessary for me. I wanna try so many recipes now; buttermilk pancakes, buttermilk fried chicken etc. I’ll definitely put it on my channel

1/1/22: Hi John. The sour cream and water method absolutely works the best, tastes just like buttermilk, and I used it tonight making homemade cornbread which came out perfect. Thanks for the tip. Happy New Year!

Interesting video! I use lemon juice in milk, or liquify yogurt with milk. Commercial buttermilk, yogurt, sour cream, etc all are cultured - certain bacteria added to get the desired effect, so it makes sense to me that the cultured sour cream would taste the best. Real buttermilk is basically the water squeezed out of cream and was traditionally used to make ricotta cheese.
Thanks for the great vid!

I’m so stupid my chicken is literally in a bowl with milk AND melted butter😭😭 I thought I was being smart

Love that your mother is your inspiration in the things you do in the kitchen. I’m happy to see you are very proud of her. Thank you.😊👍

I absolutely love the 3 different options, I usually use lemon juice or vinegar but it’s good to know other ways. Thank you

I really love the way you explain things. I have watched SO MANY baking videos, the problem is they do not explain the things (even the little things like why we use buttermilk for a cake), they simply tell you the recipe. It often happened that i followed the recipe, but whenener it didn't turn out the way i wanted, i used to get puzzled where dis I do wrong. But when you explain, you always mention where things might go wrong and what should we do if that happens. Your recipe is really easy to follow that way. I made carrot cake and it was a Hit !!!! Thank you so much !!!

Tried your buttermilk recipe using 1/4 c. water & 3/4 c. sour cream to make my biscuits and it worked great! Thank you for sharing. God bless you & yours.

I just used the sour cream idea for my cornbread and it came out GREAT!!! I didn't have buttermilk because I drank it all. I LOVE BUTTERMILK! A teaspoon of sugar and OMG!!!! Thank you for sharing!

You can freeze buttermilk. Freeze it in ice cube trays, and once they’re frozen, take them out and put them in a plastic bag. Or, if you buy it by the carton, be sure there’s enough room for expansion and after it’s frozen you can cut the carton off, and put the big chunk in a plastic bag. It just depends on how much you usually use when you use it. It will keep, in the freezer, up to 3 months.

Its amazing how you can always smile through out the entire video. I actually tried doing that in a conversation with my friends and it creeped them out.

I used the lemon and whole milk one.... My pancakes were spectacular! Thank you!

[alanoudjarrar]

I found this channel yesterday and I don’t bake or anything but I’m obsessed with these videos idk why. I already watched like 8 videos in one sitting

[MJ-jetx]

I never knew you can make buttermilk with sour cream. Thank you so much.

[JessRayne]

Thank you!! Just tried out the whole milk and vinegar method. Fried chicken turned out great 😍

I'm old and grew up on a farm. Grandma churned to make butter to sell and buttermilk was a byproduct.... I absolutely love it. My favorite way (other than a big glass) is poured over a bowl of crumbled cornbread (hot from the oven). Store buttermilk just isn't as rich as what came out of Grandma's churn.

Buttermilk was my mother's favorite drink, especially on a hot summer day. She always had some in the fridge. She loved to crumble up biscuits in a bowl and soak them with buttermilk in lieu of cereal.
