Buttermilk Substitution!
If you dont have Buttermilk on had or you cannot find it in the store, there is an easy substitute! Create Sour Milk.
- 1 c. Milk
- 1 tbsp. Distilled white vinegar
- 1:1 Ratio
- After adding the vinegar to the milk, whisk it together and let it sit for about 5 minutes. The milk will bubble/curdle a little. That is ok. Now you have a similar flavor to buttermilk.

- Next add in your biscuit mix to the dish.
- Use a rubber spatula to make sure that the dough is spread all the way to the edges of the pan.
- Place the dish into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- At the 10 minute mark use a knife to cut into your dough depending on what size of biscuits you want.
- Finish baking your biscuits for another 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Times will vary, so jus keep an eye on your biscuits!
- Let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving!
