What can you use in cinnamon rolls instead of buttermilk?

You can use a few different things in place of buttermilk in cinnamon rolls! Here's a breakdown of the best substitutes:

For a similar tangy flavor:

* Sour Milk: You can simply add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of regular milk and let it sit for 5 minutes. This will sour the milk and create a similar effect to buttermilk.

* Plain Yogurt: Use plain, unsweetened yogurt for a tangy flavor and a slightly thicker consistency.

* Sour Cream: This will also add a tangy flavor and richness to your cinnamon rolls.

For a slightly different flavor profile:

* Milk + Baking Soda: Combine regular milk with a pinch of baking soda. The baking soda will react with the milk and create a slightly tangy flavor.

* Water + Vinegar: Mix water with a small amount of white vinegar. While it won't be as tangy as buttermilk, it will help activate the baking soda in the recipe.

Important Notes:

* Adjusting Liquid: Remember to adjust the amount of liquid used in the recipe based on the substitute you choose. Some substitutes are thicker than buttermilk, so you might need to use a little less.

* Flavor: Some substitutes will change the flavor of the cinnamon rolls slightly, so keep that in mind when making your choice.
