Can anyone tell me what I can substitute for buttermilk? I can't find it in my country.

Also, as it does not seem to exist in my country, can I use boric acid instead of borax to make my own laundry detergent? Many thanks.

Just add a teaspoon of lemon juice or brown vinegar to a cup of milk to make buttermilk.

A good substitute is 1 c. of yogurt for 1 c. of buttermilk. Or 1 c. sour cream. Or 1 TBS lemon juice or vinegar in 1 c. milk. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your suggestions. I've bookmarked them. So when i need to use buttermilk, I can find what I need.

Be sure to put the vinegar, or whatever you decide to use, into the measuring cup first, and then add the milk up to the amount called for -- otherwise, you might have too much liquid.

Plain yogurt is great, adds that tang that you miss with the buttermilk. I also use the acid in mild trick, but find that vinegar makes for a funky taste, I've always used lemon juice, makes the same "chunky" milk but adds a nice zip, as the lemon brings out the flavor of stuff without changing the flavor to lemon.

Add a tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of milk and let it stand 5 minutes to thicken. I have used this for many years and it has always worked for me.

I have used this successfully for years in baking. Add 1 tsp. vinegar to 1 cup milk. It works great as a substitute for buttermilk.

I have recipes for cakes calling for buttermilk but do not always have it so I pour 1 cup evaporated milk(or what ever amount you need) and add 1 tbs vinegar and let it set a bit and use it in place of sour cream That is for cake batter I do not know about it working for other stuff.

Since you're here, I presume you know how to Google on the Internet. Google buttermilk powder. There's more than one source, and the health food stores are the best.

Thank you, Perfumed Fan. Yogurt is easily available here so I'll use that. Thanks for the info about using boric acid, too.

Boric acid is a slightly acidic form of borax. For cleaning purposes you can probably substitute. Make a small batch and see how that works.

Substitutes for buttermilk: into 1 cup of milk mix in one of the following and let stand for 5 minutes before using: 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar or 1 3/4 tablespoons cream of tarter. These are ok. An equal amount of plain yogurt or sour cream works much better.
