No buttermilk? Add 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar to milk to make 1 cup; the simple substitute only needs a few minutes to thicken

For those who love to bake, running out of buttermilk is no longer a crisis. A quick fix involves mixing milk with an acidic component, which effectively simulates buttermilk's acidity and supports the activation of baking soda. This easy technique guarantees that your baked goods, including scones and biscuits, achieve the perfect rise without requiring a store run.
