Lactose free sub for buttermilk?

[Madeleine]

Arriving guests have just laid on the LF + GF info. Can I use soy milk or almond milk in place of buttermilk?

You can make your own lactose free "buttermilk" by adding lemon juice 2-3 teaspoons to your soy or other LF milk. You can use Apple Cider Vinegar or cream of tartar in the same amounts if you don't have lemon handy.

Buttermilk is essentially an acidic milk, you have two choices, use a non-dairy sub, like almond or rice along with a tablespoon of lemon or vinegar per cup (well, really one cup less a tablespoon).
The other side is if you don't need the acid taste, you can simply skip the acid and use a non-dairy sub, but if your recipe has baking soda, you need to replace it with baking powder, 1 tsp per 3/4 tsp of baking soda. Or, if you have it around, 1/4 tsp cream of tartar will do the same thing.
