When Grandma made her delicious muffins, she often did not have buttermilk on hand. Instead, she used one of her buttermilk substitute recipes. Her favorite used lemon juice. You simply add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk. However, if Grandma did not have a lemon, she added 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk, instead.

Thanks to kthomas! This was a lifesaver this morning. Kids wanted buttermilk pancakes but I didn’t have buttermilk on hand. I found this substitute and it worked beautifully.

Thanks Grandma!
I was out of lemon juice but had that good old standby, white vinegar, along with milk on hand. Added to my other ingredients, the “sub” worked great to produce yummy apple oatmeal pancakes!
