Can I Substitute Sour Cream For Buttermilk
Camila Farah
One cup of real or substitute buttermilk 1 cup of whole skim or non fat milk.
To make each of these substitutes for buttermilk stir the ingredients together and let them sit for about 10 minutes so the milk can sour then go ahead use it as a substitute for buttermilk in baking. Otherwise i think you ll be fine with the sour cream instead of buttermilk. To replace 1 cup 237 ml of buttermilk in a recipe combine 3 4 cup. I ve been to the supermarket a few times and i haven t seen buttermilk so i m wondering if i can use sour cream instead of the buttermilk.
Halfpint july 19 2013 without seeing the recipe i would say yes you can substitute the sour cream but you might need to add a little acid. Each substitute makes 1 cup. I m just nervous about using the buttermilk substitute that calls for adding vinegar to milk because the recipe that i m using already calls for vinegar in the batter. These dairy products are acidic and will also work in a similar way to buttermilk.
However sour cream is thicker than buttermilk so it s best to thin it with water or milk when making a buttermilk substitute.
