Buttermilk is what is left over from making cultured butter, that is where the culture comes from . since NZlanders insist on insipid sweet cream butter, buttermilk in this country is made from low fat milk and the same culture. In no way is lemon juice and milk an alternative.

Note the word "alternative" to buttermilk. It is not called "homemade buttermilk". It is a "substitute" just as you can substitute margarine for butter. it is not the same!

You are talking about cultured buttermilk which is found in Europe, not New Zealand. Traditional buttermilk comes from the milk/cream used to make butter. The poster above is taking about ordinary bog standard butter milk and lemon juice or vinegar will give you a substitute for this.Hope that clears it up for you.
