Thank you! Looking forward to trying both dairy and pareve versions.
To make a non dairy buttermilk, just use any milk sub, soy milk, coconut milk whatever and add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to 1 cup milk. Let it sit for a minute and then use it.
To clarify, if making Pareve, what can be used in place of the buttermilk?
This was amazing. We also tried it with steak…also fantastic. A keeper!
