Tips for when you have a missing ingredient

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
