Instructions

  1. Pour the milk and apple cider vinegar into a small bowl and whisk until you see tiny bubbles.
  2. Let the vegan buttermilk rest at room temperature for roughly 3-5 minutes. This will allow it to thicken and curdle. 
  3. Use immediately or pour it into a mason jar, secure the lid, and place in the fridge until you’re ready to use.

Equipment

Notes

  • This vegan buttermilk recipe ratio is 1:1 (1 cup milk to 1 Tbsp acid). So, if you only need a 1/2 cup for your recipe, it should be 1/2 cup milk + 1/2 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Store any leftovers in a jar with a lid or airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Be sure to use only unsweetened, non-dairy milk. Soy milk works best for this recipe.
  • Apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, and lemon juice all work well for this recipe.
