Hello, is there an alternative for the buttermilk?
Thank you ??✨
You can use sour cream or yogurt or kefir or fil. You can also make your own buttermilk from regular whole milk by adding 2 tablespoons of freshly pressed lemon juice to 200 ml whole milk, stir the lemon juice into the milk and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or until the milk begins to curdle.
