Buttermilk is a tangy, slightly acidic dairy liquid used in pancakes, cakes, quick breads, and marinades. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs 255 g (8.99 oz). Despite its name, it contains very little butter: modern buttermilk is made by culturing low-fat milk with bacterial cultures.

Recipes often call for buttermilk by volume, but measuring by weight gives more consistent results, especially when scaling. This page converts buttermilk between grams, cups, millilitres, fluid ounces, and more.

Also known as

cultured buttermilk
sour milk

Milk is thinner and less acidic than buttermilk. To substitute, stir 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar into 1 cup of milk, then let it sit for a few minutes until it curdles slightly. See our Milk converter.

If you don't have a scale, no worries! Simply convert from grams to cups or tablespoons.
