  • Pour in the milk up to the 1-cup (240 milliliters) line. You can use it immediately, but ideally, let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the milk to slightly curdle, giving it a texture and taste similar to buttermilk. Use it as a 1:1 substitute for buttermilk in most recipes, including baking.
