Buttermilk In Baking

I wrote a post about buttermilk, you can check it out here.

Basically buttermilk creates lighter, softer and more tender baked goods by breaking down the gluten in the batter, when it reacts to baking soda. It also helps in to rise breads in quick bread recipes.

Homemade Vegan Buttermilk

You can use any non-dairy milk like coconut milk, soy milk or almond milk.
