Tip #5: How to make buttermilk.

Lots of recipes call for buttermilk, and grocery stores sell buttermilk, so one often simply BUYS buttermilk from the store.

*THIS IS A MISTAKE*

After lengthy conversation with our favourite Tall Blonde, TNB now *make* their own buttermilk. And you can too ;)

You will need:
A glass
A fresh lemon
Some milk.

Squeeze  approximately one tablespoon of lemon juice (beware the pips!) into a glass.

Measure just under one cup of milk in a measuring glass.

Pour into the lemon juice.

Wait five minutes and... Done!
You can now use as much of this 'buttermilk' as your recipe requires. [You can also use white vinegar instead of lemon juice, but I really like squeezing lemons, so...]
