I come across quite a few recipes needing buttermilk. Its acidity helps activate rising agents, keeping baking moist and adds a delicious tang to buttermilk pancakes (I'll post recipe next time I make them).
Here's is how I make my buttermilk alternative, it only takes 5 minutes. I use powdered milk and it still works fine.
Buttermilk
1T Lemon Juice or Vinegar
Almost 1C Milk
Put juice into measuring jug, top up with milk to measure 1 cup. Leave at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. You now have butter milk.

Wow, great idea. I often use watered down yoghurt as well. Just discovered your blog and it's a joy to read. I thought your crumpets looked better than the original recipe!
