Instructions

Pour your milk. Grab 1 cup of your favorite unsweetened, room temperature plant milk and pour it into a mason jar or mixing bowl.

Add the acid. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. (Apple cider vinegar works too.)

Wait. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. You’ll notice it curdling slightly or thickening a bit. That’s the magic (aka chemistry).

Use immediately. Your vegan buttermilk is ready for your next stack of pancakes, fluffy vegan biscuits, or any recipe that calls for the real thing.

Notes

  • I like unsweetened soy milk for the best texture in baking.
  • Let it sit at least 5 minutes to curdle; that’s where the magic happens.
  • Store extras in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  • Freeze in an ice cube tray for quick tablespoon portions later on.
  • Room-temperature milk curdles better than cold, so let it warm up a bit first.
