Tips for when you have a missing ingredient
November 2nd, 2012 | 
Author: These are handy substitutes for missing ingredients. I almost never have cream or buttermilk in the refrigerator.
If you need heavy cream for a recipe, you can make your own by combining 2/3 c. whole milk with 1/3 c. melted butter. Good to know.
Add one tablespoon of white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup. Then, add milk until the amount reaches one cup. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. It should look curdled. Stir and you have homemade buttermilk

I didn’t know about the recipe for heavy cream – thanks!
I like saco buttermilk powder and use it often. I have used the vinegar substitution and it does work well.
I didn’t know that about a substitute for heavy cream either nor about saco buttermilk powder…thank you! Lemon juice mostly gets used here to make the buttermilk substitute
I use the milk and vinegar combination all the time. Works great.
Thanks for the tip about the heavy cream. Wonder if it can be whipped?
