You won’t want to strain your buttermilk after making it. 🙂

Buenos días, quisiera saber si una vez hecho el suero de leche se tiene que colar y usar solo el líquido o si se usa toda la mezcla obtenida con grumos de cuajada?

I have used this recipe in vegan dishes with almond & oat milk and I found that the oat milk does better. But almond milk will work too. I would use only the plain unsweetened almond milk, as it won’t alter the taste of your recipe.

In reply to Katie.

Hi Katie! While you could, for something that uses actual buttermilk as the main ingredient, I would probalby use real buttermilk. 🙂

Hi Jo! It works just fine. We actually address this in the post 😊

I assume that because of the chemistry, this would only work with dairy milk. Any suggestions on if it would work similarly with something such as almond milk?

Hi Jen! I’m sure you could, but without having tried it I’m not sure how it would be done.

Hello there! I am making gobs for a fundraiser and have been asked to make orange creamsicle ones. Is there a way I can use a traditional gob recipe and sub out some of the ingredients?

In reply to Kim.

Hi Kim! That’s a very tough question to answer. It’s really going to depend how the buttermilk is used in each particular recipe.

Can you use fat free buttermilk?

In reply to Marilou.

Hi Marilou! It will depend on the recipe that you are using the buttermilk for. It is best made using whole milk. 🙂

Hi Sam! Can I use a evaporated milk? , because I have only fat free milk in my house!

Hi Patti! I have seen buttermilk powder, but unfortunately I haven’t tried baking with it so I can’t say for sure how it would work.

I’ve seen and done this many times, but with baking bread I’ve used a dry buttermilk powder. It gives you a ratio of powder to water to “make” buttermilk in the amounts needed. It tastes great in breads, but I’ve never tried it in any other recipes. Have you heard of this, or used it?

In reply to Morgan.

Hi Morgan! Unfortunately, I haven’t tried this myself. I think you would need to thin the sour cream a bit but I’m not sure how to go about doing it. If you try it let me know how it goes. 🙂

hi, can i substitute sour cream for buttermilk in the vanilla cake recipe, i don’t trust myself to do this recipe and in my head sour cream resembles buttermilk more.
I read about having to “thin” the sour cream with a 1/4 cup of milk to a cup?

Hi Emma! The process for substituting greek yogurt is a little different and I haven’t tried it so I can’t really advise on exactly how to do it. 🙁

Hi,Sam,
Can I substitute buttermilk with greek yoghurt?

In reply to Lillian.

Hi Lillian! That is a normal reaction. I typically try to use it pretty quickly after preparing to avoid this issue. It’s actually the way you start to make cottage cheese. I hope this helps. 🙂

Hi Sam,
Thanks for sharing! I’ve noticed when i make buttermilk as soon as it’s all mixed in, it becomes thicker (like buttermilk you buy at the store) however when it sits out for a longer time, it becomes watery with large chunks at the bottom. Is that normal? and is it still okay to use? I’ve always just discarded it and made it again

In reply to Paz.

Are you referring to heavy cream here? If so I believe that should work as a substitute for the milk. 🙂

In reply to Sam.

Hi!! Can I do this substitute with cream / whipped cream and vinegar or lemon instead of just milk?

I know it might be an annoying question, I just don’t have regular milk handy but will go to the market if it’s not the best option:)

Thank you!
