Some of these substitutes recipes are easier than others in a pinch. But the most commonly method that I used is with lemon or vinegar. The others are helpful as well. All of the methods start with milk, so you will need to have that on hand :)
white vinegar
Add one tablespoon of white vinegar to one cup of milk. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.
lemon juice
Add one tablespoon of lemon juice to one cup of milk. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.
cream of tartar
Measure 1 3/4 tablespoon cream of tartar plus 1 cup of milk. Whisk to combine and let them stand at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes, then stir.
plain yogurt
You can easily make a buttermilk substitute with 2 tablespoon of plain yogurt plus one cup of milk. Stir to combine and then use your as recipe instructs.
sour cream
If you have sour cream on hand, you can easily make a buttermilk substitute by thinning the sour cream with a bit of milk until it reaches the consistency of buttermilk. Stir to combine and then use your as recipe instructs.
There you go. You have homemade buttermilk!
