Ghi chú

To make sour milk, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and stir. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes until it thickens and begins to curdle slightly. This acidified milk is a great substitute for buttermilk in many recipes.

This is a recipe of my Mom and is delicious.
