Buttermilk substitute in baking?

[entreat]

I usually do some kind of sour cream & milk mix. Never tried the vinegar option... sounds a bit too chem-class for my liking!

Thank you for all of your suggestions. I am making a mudcake this week and plan to use the milk / vinegar combo. Failing that I will try the frozen buttermilk option.

I like to think that I am fairly "well-versed" in the kitchen, but the buttermilk pancakes that I made a couple of months back made me feel like I should be banned from all things cooking! They were TERRIBLE - like little rubber door stops! So yeah - until I work out how to make good ones, pancakes aren't really an option

I read the title as "Breastmilk Substitute in baking" and was going to suggest using cows milk

Ahem, sorry not much help am I? As you were...

to get the best light & fluffy pancakes, separate the eggs, mix the yolks in as per normal, but with the white - whip them until soft peaks form, then fold them into the batter at the end. OMG... so simple, and the result is amazing! Hasn't failed me yet!
