If you make a recipe that requires buttermilk, try this simple recipe. For every cup of buttermilk you need, mix 1 cup of powered milk according to the package directions. For each cup of buttermilk add one tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Mix well. Let sit for 5 minutes before use.

Prepare the powdered milk as directed on the can. Then add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to the milk. If you do not have vinegar you can also use fresh lemon juice. Let mixture sit for 10 minutes and you will have wonderful buttermilk.

You will need commercial buttermilk as a starter. Mix up a quart of reconstituted milk by combining 3 3/4-cup water with 1 1/3 cups dry milk powder. Add 1/2 cup of fresh buttermilk, purchased from the store. Allow it to sit on the counter overnight. In the morning it will be buttermilk.
