Q:

What's a good substitute for buttermilk? I hate buying a carton when I only need a little for a recipe.

  • A:
    You can substitute plain yogurt for buttermilk in the exact same proportions as required of buttermilk. Another alternative is: (1) to 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar add enough milk to bring the mixture to 1 cup; (2) let stand 5 minutes; (3) measure out the amount you need for your recipe. Buttermilk is an essential ingredient in http://how2heroes.com/videos/dessert-and-baked-goods/oatmeal-cupcakes-w-cream-cheese-frosting.
