Recipe FAQs
What does it do in baking?
It’s all about the texture! The acidity helps to tenderize baked goods, keeping them super moist and soft. It will also keep your baked goods from browning too fast because of how it changes the pH.
Can I use dairy free milk?
I have not tested how to make buttermilk without dairy, but I think any dairy-free milk from a carton such as oat milk or almond milk would work for a dairy free buttermilk.
