*Dairy-Free
*No junk
*Could be converted into vegan or gluten-free
*Kid-approved
I've been buying store bought buttermilk for years, but as I have been getting older dairy hasn't been treating me oh-so-well. So I've cut out about 95% dairy out of my diet. The only dairy that I still consume is butter and cheese. I only use butter to bake so that's not that much and I've cut my intake in cheese and that was kind of hard because I love cheese.
I've looked at several stores that do have tons of milk alternatives like soymilk, almondmilk, cashewmilk even rice or hempmilk, they didn't haven't anything like a dairy-free buttermilk.
So I decided to make my own, its really easy and only takes two ingredients. It almost gives you the same flavor and fluffiness like dairy buttermilk gives you when you use for cakes or pancakes.
How to make dairy-free 'buttermilk'
*2 cups of soymilk or almondmilk, sweetened or unsweetened (I used Very Vanilla Soymilk)
*1 tablespoon of Vinegar (I used Apple Cider Vinegar)
Combine your dairy-free milk of your choosing and vinegar in a large bowl. Whisk together and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. It will become thick and creamy.
Yields:~15 pancakes
Time: ~An hour and half
'Buttermilk' Pancakes
*3 cups of Unbleached Flour (I used King Arthur's Flour)
*2 cups of Soy 'Buttermilk'
*3 Eggs
*1/4 cup of Sugar
*2 teaspoons of Canola Oil (Any unflavored oil but Olive Oil)
*2 teaspoons of Honey
*1 tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
*2 teaspoons of Baking Powder
*1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
*Pinch of Sea Salt
Combine baking soda, baking powder and 'buttermilk' together, let it sit for 5 or so minutes. After the 'buttermilk' mixture has sit mix eggs, sugar, sea salt, canola oil, honey, vanilla extract and flour.
Whisk together and let it sit for an hour. About five minutes before cooking, heat up a non-stick skillet or pan. Measure out half of cup batter in a ziplock bag then squeeze out in a round circle.
Watch for it bubble up, it takes about two minutes for that happen. Flip over and let it cook for another two minutes.
Nice golden brown color and fluffy.

Enjoy with your favorite syrup or spread. Fry up some bacon or sausage. Store any leftover in a clean ziplock bag or container in the refrigerator for three days, in the freezer up to a month. But I doubt you'll have any.
I love buttermilk pancakes but I have never made them myself. I definitely need to make these for a treat x
ReplyDeleteThey are defiantly delicious and you don't have to buy a big jug of buttermilk at the store just make the buttermilk at home.
DeleteI really have to try it since I have lactose intollerance... Great post ♥ xoxo Foteini
ReplyDeleteThank you. It taste the same as if you used regular buttermilk but not so rough on the stomach like it was on me. You can also use almondmilk instead of soymilk.
DeleteIt looks so delicious! I tried them once and turned out to be so good. I need to make them again because I missed that taste.
ReplyDeleteThey are delicious and so easy to make.
DeleteThis is actually a pretty good idea, especially for someone who's a little intolerant to kill. I'll definitely have to try them out!
ReplyDeleteThat's why I had to create a different type of buttermilk for pancakes or baking because regular buttermilk would mess with my tummy.
DeleteWe're huge fans of pancakes at our house. My husband makes them every Sunday morning for us and we have breakfast in bed. Buttermilk makes them all that much better! (ps: Extra syrup is mandatory!)
ReplyDeleteI as well love lots of syrup on my pancakes. I prefer to have breakfast for dinner instead of in the morning.
DeletePancakes are my favourite go to thing when I have a sweettooth, they can be made quickly and are delicious! I am trying to make a helthier versions and eat them with fruit and yoghurt.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really delicious.
DeleteI love Buttermilk pancakes. And these ones look amazing. Thank you for also giving the dairy free and vegan options.

ReplyDeleteOh yes, it won't give you a heavy stuffed filling when you eat a lot of then like other pancakes.
DeleteDairy free buttermilk sounds lush and as much as I love dairy, having too much of it does upset my stomach. These pancakes look tasty!
