  • This recipe makes 1 cup of buttermilk.
  • Don’t let your buttermilk sit out for too long. It only needs about 5 minutes before you should use it or put it in a storage container and place it in the refrigerator.
  • If you need more than a cup of buttermilk for a recipe, you’ll need to double this recipe.
  • You can use bottled lemon juice in the milk if you don’t have fresh juice from a lemon to use.
Storage: Store homemade buttermilk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
