Has this ever happened to you...you are getting ready to try out recipe; excitedly you start to gather all your ingredients, checking back and forth with the recipe until you come across that dreaded word...buttermilk. If you are anything like me, you rarely have buttermilk in the fridge, and you really don't want to put everything away and head to the store, never fear here's a little trick I picked up... Just add a tablespoon of either plane white vinegar or lemon juice to every cup of milk and let stand for ten minutes. I know that this doesn't sound appetizing and it might even look like the milk is going to curdle but don't worry. Once you use the imitation buttermilk your recipe you wont even taste the vinegar or lemon juice, it really does taste like you used real buttermilk. Just make sure you let it stand for at least 10minutes
