souring milk

[Glynis]

I have a recipe that calls for buttermilk, but I don't have any on hand. I know there's a way to sour milk with vinegar to substitute, but I don't know the ratio. Can anyone help me out?

 

[jonestavern]

for one cup of soured milk (as a buttermilk substitute):
Warm milk in the microwave or on stove top
Add 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice or good (Heinz) white vinegar.
Let stand in a warm spot for about 10 to 20 minutes.

Cream of tartar-- 1 3/4 tsp to 1 cup milk--also works.

I have soured fat free half & half as well as 1%, but I understand that it differs from brand to brand how successful this will be.

There is also a powdered buttermilk that is sold:
