Once thickened, it's ready to use in your recipe! (immediately)
For a richer flavor, use whole milk.
If you don't have white vinegar, lemon juice works perfectly as a substitute.
The thickening time may vary slightly depending on the temperature of your milk and the room.
Stirring too vigorously can prevent the buttermilk from thickening properly. Gentle stirring is key.
This buttermilk is best used immediately. However, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but the separation might increase.
