Recipe: Non-Dairy/Vegan Substitutions for Buttermilk in Recipes

Tips and Tricks - Cooking
Dear Suret, I hope this information is a help to you. Happy Cooking! - Betsy

NON-DAIRY/VEGAN SUBSTITUTIONS FOR BUTTERMILK IN RECIPES

"SOUR" NON-DAIRY MILK:
Just as sour milk can be substituted for buttermilk in recipes, you can make sour non-dairy (unsweetened, unflavored) "milk" to use as a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup non-dairy "milk" (soy, almond, rice, etc.). Let the mixture stand a few minutes before adding to the recipe.

NON-DAIRY SOUR CREAM:
To substitute vegan sour cream for buttermilk, stir together 1/2 cup vegan sour cream and 1/2 cup water until smooth.

TOFU:
For 1 cup buttermilk substitute:

Soft tofu: Combine 3/4 cup tofu with 1/4 cup water, 1 tbsp. lemon juice or vinegar, and a pinch of salt.

Medium firm tofu: Combine 1/2 cup tofu with 3/4 cup water, 1 tbsp. lemon juice or vinegar and a pinch of salt.

Extra firm or silken tofu: Combine 1/4 cup tofu with 3/4 cup water, 1 tbsp. lemon juice or vinegar, and a pinch of salt.
