Replacing Buttermilk With Yogurt In Baking
I don’t buy buttermilk very often. I do get a half gallon around the holidays to make an even tastier cornbread dressing. Throughout the rest of the year, I either make a buttermilk substitute from fresh milk and vinegar, or I use yogurt. That’s right. You can use the two interchangeably. Here’s what you need to know about replacing buttermilk with yogurt in baking.
- You can substitute plain yogurt at a 1:1 ratio for buttermilk.
- If you’re using Greek yogurt, thin it out with a bit of milk before substituting the same way.
- For sweet baked goods, vanilla yogurt may be used. You can even get adventurous and try some of your favorite fruit flavored versions. Use what you have on hand.
- If you think ahead, you can make a fresh batch of homemade yogurt to use in your baking.
Give it a try in your favorite baking recipes. This simple buttermilk substitution has yet to fail me.
