Plain milk and buttermilk are not the same beast. Buttermilk is tangy and thick, while milk is just... milky. But here’s the magic: you can turn plain milk into a perfect buttermilk stand-in with one simple ingredient. You don’t need a special trip to the store.
Why would you want to do this? Because buttermilk is the secret hero of fluffy pancakes, tender biscuits, and the most amazing fried chicken. And you deserve those things, right now, without a hassle.
