First things first, you will need some milk, and a tablespoon of any acidic ingredient. That can be either vinegar or lemon juice, whatever you prefer. Personally, I prefer using vinegar as I find it more easily available and accessible, but you can pick and choose. If you want to make one cup of buttermilk, add a tablespoon of vinegar/lemon juice in a measuring cup, and fill the cup with milk till it reaches the one cup mark. Give it a good stir, and voila!
