Cooking techniques

Allowing the mixture to sit is key to developing that buttermilk-like consistency. This slight curdling mimics the tangy flavor of buttermilk.

Variations or substitutions

If you don't have white vinegar, lemon juice works just as well. You can also use other plant-based milks combined with vinegar or lemon juice for a dairy-free option.

Storage tips

This mixture is best used immediately. However, if you need to store it, keep it in the fridge for up to a day, but fresh is always better!
