Homemade Buttermilk

Buttermilk is easy to make at home and especially handy when a recipe calls for it and there is none in your refrigerator!

• 1 liter whole milk (or 1 quart)
• 5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (or vinegar)

Pour the milk in a non-reactive bowl and add the lemon juice (or vinegar). Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes and then refrigerate if not using immediately.
