I have used kefir as a straight substitute for commercial buttermilk in making cakes and biscuits - without any problems. I do not know the chemical differences/siimilarities, though.
Yes, but some sort of acid such as lemon juice or vinegar must be added to make the regular milk sour. That acid combines with baking soda to leaven the baked product.
Yes, plain yoghurt can replace buttermilk in baking, but you might want to thin the yogurt with a little regular milk or water, until it is the same consistency as buttermilk.
Yes, just be aware of flavors
No, you can substitute buttermilk for milk but not for baking powder.
Buttermilk.
Yogurt is a dairy product in baking.
what are the physical changes occur in yogurt making
i don't see anything wrong with using yogurt although it might chage the consistancy of this dish but if you use plan yogurt it shouldn't chage the flavor. what you should do is try yogurt instead of buttermilk by making pancakes and see if you can taste or see a difference! if it is a success let me know!
Yes, you can use buttermilk with baking powder.
A great substitute is soy yogurt.
lactate
Stupid question = Stupid answer
They still make a buttermilk baking mix.
Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. When baking soda is combined with moisture and an acidic ingredient (such as yogurt or buttermilk), the resulting chemical reaction produces bubbles of carbon dioxide that, when heated, expand causing baked goods to rise. The reaction begins immediately upon mixing the ingredients, so you need to bake recipes which use baking soda immediately.
