So there’s no buttermilk sold where I am so this is definitely necessary for me. I wanna try so many recipes now; buttermilk pancakes, buttermilk fried chicken etc. I’ll definitely put it on my channel
That's kind of weird because I could never find buttermilk in any Supermarket where I live it's just something that we just don't use so I think it's great that we can make it on our own and save money because the ingredients to make it we already have😊
1/1/22: Hi John. The sour cream and water method absolutely works the best, tastes just like buttermilk, and I used it tonight making homemade cornbread which came out perfect. Thanks for the tip. Happy New Year!
Interesting video! I use lemon juice in milk, or liquify yogurt with milk. Commercial buttermilk, yogurt, sour cream, etc all are cultured - certain bacteria added to get the desired effect, so it makes sense to me that the cultured sour cream would taste the best. Real buttermilk is basically the water squeezed out of cream and was traditionally used to make ricotta cheese. Thanks for the great vid!
Tried your buttermilk recipe using 1/4 c. water & 3/4 c. sour cream to make my biscuits and it worked great! Thank you for sharing. God bless you & yours.
You can freeze buttermilk. Freeze it in ice cube trays, and once they’re frozen, take them out and put them in a plastic bag. Or, if you buy it by the carton, be sure there’s enough room for expansion and after it’s frozen you can cut the carton off, and put the big chunk in a plastic bag. It just depends on how much you usually use when you use it. It will keep, in the freezer, up to 3 months.
I really love the way you explain things. I have watched SO MANY baking videos, the problem is they do not explain the things (even the little things like why we use buttermilk for a cake), they simply tell you the recipe. It often happened that i followed the recipe, but whenener it didn't turn out the way i wanted, i used to get puzzled where dis I do wrong. But when you explain, you always mention where things might go wrong and what should we do if that happens. Your recipe is really easy to follow that way. I made carrot cake and it was a Hit !!!! Thank you so much !!!
I just used the sour cream idea for my cornbread and it came out GREAT!!! I didn't have buttermilk because I drank it all. I LOVE BUTTERMILK! A teaspoon of sugar and OMG!!!! Thank you for sharing!
2:02 I remember how to make buttermilk from actual buttermilk😋. I used the buttermilk substitute (milk and lemon juice) in 2 sheet carrot cakes 12 cups of carrot cake batter for 2 sheet cakes. I used pineapple. I only had to use I cup pureed pineapple (accidentally pureed instead of chopped) and I cup of the buttermilk substitute. This was a swap for the oil. I only had to use 1/3 c oil. Sheet cakes get done much faster than the recipe says.😃 Thank you. You are truly inspiring😃😋😊😃😋😊😃😋😊😃😋😊🌟
Wow your cooking techniques are truly unique🥰👍 In India we prepare buttermilk differently...And you are not the only one who is weird..we do drink buttermilk very often😜...it quenches our thirst especially during hot summers..But we add in a lil bit of salt though and sometimes some other things like ginger, curry leaves etc. 😊😊
Its amazing how you can always smile through out the entire video. I actually tried doing that in a conversation with my friends and it creeped them out.
1 number for sure .i will be doing this one for my face.. butter is excellent for your face as to remove dark spots to make your skin dewy for sunburn for so many things.Thank you
My mom taught me the lemon and milk trick but it's good to know about the other two! Needed buttermilk for a chicken recipe tomorrow and I have both lemon juice and cream of tartar handy 😁
You are not weird my friend. My husband and my dad love it. we go through 2 gallons a week ! Blessings to you love you show Made the best peppermint bark thanks to you !
I watch you before I go to bed. Not in a weird way, it’s just that your humor just makes me giggle and that a good way to drift off into slumber. Your videos are so informative, I have so many of your videos saved to my Favorites.
Thank-you, this is such a great help for when I don't have any buttermilk in the fridge. In fact, I think I'll try the sour cream version today for cupcakes! Your method of measuring flour is very reassuring, and it's exactly how I do it too! I find the dip and sweep method compacts the flour, and therefore you end up with slightly more flour than required. ☺
Okay I'm done making my little sis 3 layers birthday sponge cake with buttermilk I made just now at home. Thanks a lot for teaching me how to make buttermilk My buttermilk turned out perfectly amazing Thank you
One time I used 1 TBLS apple cider vinegar to regular milk bc that’s literally all I had on hand and I was pleasantly pleased with the results. Would you say lemon juice would be best though? Thanks for sharing various methods. Mad love! 🙏🏽💓
@@ashleyw977 why ? It's really good !.. south indians, me included, have it on a regular basis ... Arabs also have it, I know cus I grew up in an Arab country, they call it Laban, we call it Morum vellam or Sambaram.
Now for part two where John makes different batches of pancakes or red velvet using the different methods of buttermilk to see if they really do behave the same in baking... ;)
Butter milk is used in Denmark, my old country, for a really deilcious summer dessert (referred to as cold sweet buttermilk soup): Koldskål: 1 liter of buttermik 2 egg yolks 3 tbsp sugar (I prefer golden unrefined caster sugar) 1 vanilla pod zest of organic lemon Floating icebergs: egg whites 8 tbsp icing sugar pinch of salt Egg yolks (keep the whites) & vanilla beans are beaten with sugar until light and frothy. Add the butter milk stir gently with the lemon zest.. Set aside to cool in fridge. Over bain Marie, or just boilt water, whisk the egg whites with the pinch of salt and sugar into a stiff French maringue fluff. The heat of the boilt water helps the eggs to coagulate (is that the correct term?). When you are ready to serve the Kåldskål take it out of the fridge, give it a gentle stir and serve either in a big bowl or in fancy little bowls and keep the floating iceberg mixture on the table so people can add as much or little as they would like. You can also be the one who decides how much of the floating icebergs go into each bowl
Buttermilk was my mother's favorite drink, especially on a hot summer day. She always had some in the fridge. She loved to crumble up biscuits in a bowl and soak them with buttermilk in lieu of cereal.
My grandmother had a sugar cookie recipe(it’s been my favorite since childhood) that calls for buttermilk (and nutmeg-omg, so good). We mixed whole milk and red wine vinegar. It needs to sit for a bit before using but between the nutmeg and the ‘buttermilk’, these cookies are delicious!
Bumped into you looking for homemade buttermilk. So glad I did, you're adorably entertaining and informative! I've tried the whole milk and lemon version will definitely try the sour cream for my Irish Soda Bread! SUBSCRIBED! 👍🏽
Wow that’s literally the only thing I can say you have literally so many recipes that I love but this buttermilk one is a game changer sometimes it’s hard to find a store that has it or sometimes I just forget so it saved the day again for my pumpkin cornbread today! I also started using condensed milk after watching you do the banana pudding!
Great video! I needed buttermilk yesterday to make a coconut pie but it was sold out. I instinctively bought sour cream, thinking I'd use it with milk and hope for the best. I didn't end up making the pie but this video confirms that my instinct was right! Yay! Also, real buttermilk is actual very watery as it's the leftover water from churned butter. But that wouldn't make good fried chicken like we are used to :)
I tried your method today by war.ing it up a bit in the micro and lo and behold it worked ❤previously I never warmed it up and it never worked and I left it for a half an hour before using I am so happy ❤❤❤❤
I'm old and grew up on a farm. Grandma churned to make butter to sell and buttermilk was a byproduct.... I absolutely love it. My favorite way (other than a big glass) is poured over a bowl of crumbled cornbread (hot from the oven). Store buttermilk just isn't as rich as what came out of Grandma's churn.
Awesome, simple ways for making Buttermilk at home!!! I will try all, except the one with cream of tartar, which is more expensive. Thanks for sharing these great recipea. Can't wait to try them.
My bestie and I were just talking about this because the biscuit recipe calls for buttermilk but we don't have any, and she was being silly about making our own. I sent her this video hoping it puts her at ease. 😅
Thanks John for showing us the sour cream way that's just one less thing I have to keep in the fridge no one's ever shown me how to do butter milk that way!
I was stoooopid and decided to (despite my wise judgement) , add “Laban” because I read that it was the same as buttermilk............-100000/10 would NEVER try it. NEVER.
Hi. I really love the way you explained the preparation of buttermilk. Thank you for sharing the knowledge that we can try as well freely and to answer your question. You are not crazy. In hinduism, Lord Krishna loved to eat buttermilk made from the hands of his mother and girl-friends. So, you can eat as much as you want especially if you eat it with his state of mind. It will do only good :). Thank you again.
Appreciate these buttermilk substitutes here! I knew of all of 'em except the sour cream version; might have to try that out as it looked the most like buttermilk. I just made some pancakes w the vinegar substitute, but added some cream of tartar to the dry ingredients. It came out quite fluffy - especially when I added the meringue whipped egg whites. All this to say, always tweaking my buttermilk pancake recipe and this video gave me some ideas for future attempts. Thanks!
Thank you. You saved my dinner. I started my dinner and needed ranch and found out I didn’t have any. Did your trick and made some. It worked. Thank you so much. It was fantastic.
Definitely trying this sour cream method next time I do chicken, I've been using powdered buttermilk and it just rinses off the flour rather than coating it.
Some studies indicate drinking buttermilk lowers cholesterol, and it reduces inflammation in the gums. So I think I'll have a glass tonight. Maybe a few ounces to start. And LOTS of ice. That sucker's gonna' be frosty-cold! Ice also reduces the bitterness of drinking baking soda!
Very cool! Loved that you did it three ways, and the taste test and told us that they all would work so if we don't have one we could potentially use the other. You're a great teacher! And chef. 🥰🤩😘 Ps- I married a Chef🥰😇it'll be 25 years in May. He does cooking not baking.
Thank you!!! I've often seen the milk+lemon juice substitution but no one ever says you should shake it. Makes so much sense. Great video. I will now actually be doing recipes that call for buttermilk instead of just ignoring them 😘

It's really hard to find whole buttermilk. They think everyone likes low fat food, but it's not good for you. They take the fat out of food and add sugar.
Thank you so much! Now I can make biscuits that will be more like what mom used to make. Sour cream and water will likely be my go to as the milk I use is the boxed pantry type and I’m not so sure that would work. Do you have any advice on the pantry milk?
I love watching you. You are so funny, and I feel like you are saying the same thoughts I am thinking. Keep making your wonderful recipes. Thanks for this important video
Lei Kuata - Fiapai Lei Kuata - Fiapai personally I like to use the lemon and milk method for baking because I usually don’t have sour cream home either. The lemon is masked so well in desserts. (Plus lots of recipes call for a dash of lemon. I do not include the lemons juice I use in the buttermilk as a part of the lemon juice asked for the recipe, that’s separate lemon juice)
Hi Preppy. For sour cream method, 1 part water: 3 parts sour cream. Video flashed the recipe says: 1 1/4 c water to 3/4 c sour cream. Please clarify which is right? Thank you. Love your vids by the way. You should be on TV.
Have a good friend loves to drink buttermilk. She grew up on a farm. She gets the tallest glass she has, fills it, loads it with pepper and drinks it down in one breath, it seems. Only thing I use buttermilk for is biscuits, pancakes, dipping chicken. Thanks for the video
My Dad would drink buttermilk! I just thought it was an “ole-Southern man thing!” “Cameraman spotted!” Side-note....I actually “spotted” him at 0:37s. I love the hanging pans so my attention always goes to that wall!(Now that they’re there, that is)🤷🏾♀️ Love you John! Hi Mr. Cameraman!👋🏾

In the video said 1 1/4 cup of water and 3/4 cup of sour cream. I did that mistake but I add more sour cream. I used it in my corn bread. It comes out very good. I didn't have buttermilk but this substitute works fine. Thanks
This turned hilarious fast! Can't wait to see the results because I am NOT running to the store (even if it is in my backyard).. and I reallllly don't want to use my sour cream.... noooooo. OK! Sour cream it is...off to my RV recipe. Thanks!

I have been searching for a good/great substitute for buttermilk and I can't across your video. It was a lifesaver! The only thing I will say is the text for the amount of water in the sour cream version of buttermilk is incorrect. It says 1 1/4 cups of water which would mean 5 quarters of water to 3/4 of sour cream. It is actually 1/4 cup water to 3/4 cup sour cream. Really entertaining though and much needed information! I'm now going to binge watch some more videos! ❤️
Fun fact! I never used to drink fresh/whole milk until i was like 15 or so. Before that, all I drank was buttermilk and Oh my God it was so amazing... MEMORIES 🥺🥺🥺! In my country, the traditional way to make buttermilk is to add a little amount of buttermilk (like a tablespoon or a cup) to the batch of whole/fresh milk and let it stay overnight (culturally we used to milk cows at sunset); or just keep fresh milk in a buttermilk container (they're usually wooden bottles, so the acidity is already in the wood, you get the trick) So Preppy K, you're not weird at all! now that i left my country, and i can't find people drinking/selling buttermilk anywhere, i feel like the whole world is weird lol
I was going to try and milk it with a pun, but you're really buttering me up with all these different methods! You got British there for a second adding the what-ah lol. If we strained and pressed that mess from the first method we'd have a very basic cheese!
0:46 method 1: milk + lemon juice
2:20 method 2: milk + cream of tartar
3:33 method 3: sour cream + water (best as he says)

What measurements did you use? His directions here states 1 1/4 cups water but he used and said 1/4 cup water. I'm confused.
@@niania7022…he said 3 to one, on the sour cream and water mixture. He kinds messed up, when he was saying it. Lol

You can freeze buttermilk. Freeze it in ice cube trays, and once they’re frozen, take them out and put them in a plastic bag. Or, if you buy it by the carton, be sure there’s enough room for expansion and after it’s frozen you can cut the carton off, and put the big chunk in a plastic bag. It just depends on how much you usually use when you use it. It will keep, in the freezer, up to 3 months.

Can't believe I haven't seen your channel before ❤️ you are the sweetest! Love your recipes (I'm going to try the buttermilk pancakes now! Hahaha)
Thank you. You saved my dinner. I started my dinner and needed ranch and found out I didn’t have any. Did your trick and made some. It worked. Thank you so much. It was fantastic.
Definitely trying this sour cream method next time I do chicken, I've been using powdered buttermilk and it just rinses off the flour rather than coating it.
Do you think you could use greek yogurt instead of sour cream? I never have sour cream but always have plain greek yogurt!
Shaking buttermilk “I wish this was a cocktail” OKAY MOOD
My mom and many others in my family have drank buttermilk straight. They said cold 🥶 buttermilk is the best as well.
Some studies indicate drinking buttermilk lowers cholesterol, and it reduces inflammation in the gums. So I think I'll have a glass tonight. Maybe a few ounces to start. And LOTS of ice. That sucker's gonna' be frosty-cold! Ice also reduces the bitterness of drinking baking soda!
My husband loves Buttermilk. I made cornbread with it. Thanks for telling me how to make it.
Very cool! Loved that you did it three ways, and the taste test and told us that they all would work so if we don't have one we could potentially use the other. You're a great teacher! And chef. 🥰🤩😘 Ps- I married a Chef🥰😇it'll be 25 years in May. He does cooking not baking.
Thank you!!! I've often seen the milk+lemon juice substitution but no one ever says you should shake it. Makes so much sense. Great video. I will now actually be doing recipes that call for buttermilk instead of just ignoring them 😘
I do sour cream and whole milk. Safeway doesn’t sell whole buttermilk.

I ADD A LITTLE SOUR CREAM TO BULGARIAN BUTTERMILK & ROOM TEMP KERRYGOLD IRISH ☘️ GRASS-FED REAL BUTTER 🧈 WITH A FEW SPRINKLES OF REAL-SEA-SALT & WHIP IT IN THE BLENDER & QUICKLY RETURN IT TO THE BACK-WALL OF THE REFRIGERATOR, EXCELLENT USED IN BAKING, PLUS IT IS ENJOYED ICE-COLD SERVED IN A GLASS CHILLED FROM THE FREEZER ❗️
WE MUST EAT “HEALTHY-FAT” OUR BRAIN, HEART, BLOOD VESSELS REQUIRES IT...
LOSS OF “HEALTHY FAT” HAS A NEGATIVE 👎 IMPACT INSIDE OUR BODIES & PRODUCES MANY HORRIFIC PHYSICAL RESULTS...IT LITERALLY HELPS BRING ON ILLNESS & DISEASES AS DOES LOSS OF MINERALS & VITAMINS🙏LET US EDUCATE OURSELVES♥️
they do last i checked (today) but are currently out cuz of the virus lol
It's really hard to find whole buttermilk. They think everyone likes low fat food, but it's not good for you. They take the fat out of food and add sugar.
I wish I had seen your comment before I went to Safeway today...lol

Bruh he needs his own cooking show on food network if he doesn’t already. (I haven’t watched food network in forever)
Agreed. Hes got the chops
Thank you so much! Now I can make biscuits that will be more like what mom used to make. Sour cream and water will likely be my go to as the milk I use is the boxed pantry type and I’m not so sure that would work. Do you have any advice on the pantry milk?
Loved watching the bloopers on this video!!! Your hysterical!!! Thanks for the help making buttermilk substitutes!!!!
Thorough AND entertaining tutorial ! Thank you.
I love watching you. You are so funny, and I feel like you are saying the same thoughts I am thinking. Keep making your wonderful recipes. Thanks for this important video
Another here who realy likes this gus chearfull personality
Thanks for this it's hard to find buttermilk here in the islands 💕
Lei Kuata - Fiapai Lei Kuata - Fiapai personally I like to use the lemon and milk method for baking because I usually don’t have sour cream home either. The lemon is masked so well in desserts. (Plus lots of recipes call for a dash of lemon. I do not include the lemons juice I use in the buttermilk as a part of the lemon juice asked for the recipe, that’s separate lemon juice)
Hi Preppy. For sour cream method, 1 part water: 3 parts sour cream. Video flashed the recipe says: 1 1/4 c water to 3/4 c sour cream. Please clarify which is right? Thank you. Love your vids by the way. You should be on TV.
Have a good friend loves to drink buttermilk. She grew up on a farm. She gets the tallest glass she has, fills it, loads it with pepper and drinks it down in one breath, it seems. Only thing I use buttermilk for is biscuits, pancakes, dipping chicken. Thanks for the video
My Dad would drink buttermilk! I just thought it was an “ole-Southern man thing!”
“Cameraman spotted!” Side-note....I actually “spotted” him at 0:37s. I love the hanging pans so my attention always goes to that wall!(Now that they’re there, that is)🤷🏾♀️
Love you John! Hi Mr. Cameraman!👋🏾
Marneen Carter ♥️♥️🤣♥️😂♥️🤣♥️♥️
YOUR SO CORRECT MOST PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT..........BUT NOW I AM TRYING TO INTRODUCE BUTTERMILK TO MY YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN & ENCOURAGE THEM TO LEARN HOW TO ENJOY DRINKING A HEALTHY NATURAL PROBIOTIC DRINK & SO HOPE THEY WILL CONTINUE ON THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFETIME DRINKING IT....
“THANK YOU” FOR YOUR COMMENT:
“”OLE-SOUTHERN-MAN-THING!””
YOU MADE ME LAUGH 🤣😂🤣
ENJOY YOUR DAY MARNEEN 👌
bdianes ....Yes Sir; my Daddy bless his heart, introduced many of what we believed to be “a Southern thang” we “Northern-born chillen” wouldn’t understand.🤦🏾♀️😆
I’m very grateful though, for his influence. Enjoy your day Sir!❤️❤️❤️✌🏾
I'm in love with your recipes
Thank's alot
I LOVE YOU💜💙💜
I LOVE the FACT I can thoroughly TRUST all YOUR recipes🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤗
Baking cornbread on a cold windy winter’s day here in Oz, & this video gave me a much needed chuckle ☺️😊so thank you
In the video said 1 1/4 cup of water and 3/4 cup of sour cream. I did that mistake but I add more sour cream. I used it in my corn bread. It comes out very good. I didn't have buttermilk but this substitute works fine. Thanks
My mother drinks buttermilk. It is a very common thing in the south.
My grandmother does, she is very southern 🤣
My grandmother does too
In India buttermilk is a favorite healthy summer drink- lightly spiced with cilantro, cumin or mustard seeds, curry leaves or even mint!
Thanks, skinny Mark Ruffalo! This helped me make my wife a nice pineapple upside down cake without a trip to the market.
Bless you! Sour cream and water and it's biscuit time! Who knew it was so easy thank you
Amazing! Saves me trips to the grocery store. I just use half & half with 1% milk and lemon juice.
This turned hilarious fast! Can't wait to see the results because I am NOT running to the store (even if it is in my backyard).. and I reallllly don't want to use my sour cream.... noooooo. OK! Sour cream it is...off to my RV recipe. Thanks!
I needed this...I can't, for the life of me, find it in Mexico
I've been told it's in "all supermarkets in the UK" yet when I ask for it I get blank looks.
Have you been able to find cream of tartar in Mexico??
@@ginathomas7813 does tesco or asda have it?
@@paolaperalta3768 Búsquela como crema tártara o cremor tártaro. En Costa Rica se encuentra en los supermercados en la sección de especies (canela en polvo, bicarbonato, polvo de hornear, etc.)
Gina Thomas if you go to Asda and look in the polish fridge section it’s there
He shakes his lips and tongue when he tastes 😹😹😹. I like his personality for sure.
I have been searching for a good/great substitute for buttermilk and I can't across your video. It was a lifesaver!
The only thing I will say is the text for the amount of water in the sour cream version of buttermilk is incorrect. It says 1 1/4 cups of water which would mean 5 quarters of water to 3/4 of sour cream. It is actually 1/4 cup water to 3/4 cup sour cream.
Really entertaining though and much needed information! I'm now going to binge watch some more videos! ❤️
Fun fact! I never used to drink fresh/whole milk until i was like 15 or so. Before that, all I drank was buttermilk and Oh my God it was so amazing... MEMORIES 🥺🥺🥺! In my country, the traditional way to make buttermilk is to add a little amount of buttermilk (like a tablespoon or a cup) to the batch of whole/fresh milk and let it stay overnight (culturally we used to milk cows at sunset); or just keep fresh milk in a buttermilk container (they're usually wooden bottles, so the acidity is already in the wood, you get the trick)
So Preppy K, you're not weird at all! now that i left my country, and i can't find people drinking/selling buttermilk anywhere, i feel like the whole world is weird lol
My favorite part was watching you drink it out of a shot glass. Pounding shots of buttermilk lol!
I have no clue who is he nor why am i watching this I just found this on my home page and you know how it goes I'm already subscribed I like this dude
Welcome to the channel!!!
John is the best! Welcome to the fold
I was going to try and milk it with a pun, but you're really buttering me up with all these different methods! You got British there for a second adding the what-ah lol. If we strained and pressed that mess from the first method we'd have a very basic cheese!
Those dairy puns are udderly rediculous!
@Avshalom Chotawm thats so cheesy!
That is very interesting. I already knew the fist method and thought it's the only way to have buttermilk. Thank you
I did not know cream of tartar was a byproduct of wine making.
I always learn something new & interesting from every video I watch on your channel! 😅
Did anyone hear how he sounded British for a second when he said vinegar.
I can’t hear it 🤣🤷🏾♀️ we say vin-eh-guh not vin-ih-ger
"Kind of revolting, but im so into it"
Lmao
The video is so amazing that I subscribed instantly
You are the best. I go to your videos when I need my cooking/baking/substitute information. Thank you.
I have drank buttermilk all my life I love it
Can drink a quart at a time it's so yummy.
I put pepper in it t and a little salt.
