Make Your Own Buttermilk

Buttermilk is called for in a ton of different dishes. So, if you're baking or cooking and find that you don't have any on hand, avoid a trip to the store and use vinegar instead. Just add a tablespoon of vinegar to the milk and let it sit for a couple of minutes before stirring and mixing everything together. The vinegar gives the milk the same acidic properties found in buttermilk.

It'll save you a trip to the store, which is particularly useful if you've already started making whatever it is you need the buttermilk for and don't have the time to go anywhere.
