Buttermilk Irish Soda Bread

How to Make Buttermilk At Home:

If you don’t have buttermilk on hand (and let’s face it – who does??) – then it is simple to make it yourself at home.

What you will need is:

• 1 cup full fat milk
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice or white vinegar

Stir in the lemon juice or white vinegar into the cup of full fat milk.  Let is sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.  The milk will begin to curdle.  Stir well and use as directed.  You can keep buttermilk in the fridge for three days.
