Also asked, can you use amasi instead of buttermilk?
You're probably using amasi already, but for anyone who is trying it out for the first time, amasi can be used as a substitute for buttermilk, and it fabulous for baking, sauces, dips, smoothies or pasta.
Hereof, what can I use instead of buttermilk in a recipe?
All you need to make a substitute for buttermilk in baking recipes is milk and white vinegar, or lemon juice. I typically opt for 2% or whole milk and fresh lemon juice, but bottled will also do the trick. Measure one tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice into a liquid measuring cup.
Buttermilk brings a pleasant tang to cakes, breads, biscuits and other family favorites while adding very little fat. Like yogurt and sour cream, this acidic ingredient also helps tenderize gluten, giving baked goods a softer texture and more body. Plus, it helps quick breads rise.
