Notes
Lemon juice: I prefer to use fresh lemon juice as it is milder than bottled lemon juice. It's also my preference over vinegar.
If you don't have lemon juice or vinegar, you can mix 1 3/4 teaspoons cream of tartar into 1 cup milk. Cream of tartar is an acid and will work the same way.
Milk: Any milk, including dairy-free, will work for this DIY buttermilk recipe.
