I have occasionally bought buttermilk from Sainsbury's in Camden Town but
not with any reliability. When I can't get it I use the following substitute
which I found in a Canadian recipe book.

15ml (1tbsp) vinegar plus enough milk to equal 250ml (8fl oz) can be
substituted for 250ml (8fl oz) buttermilk.

It didn't specify a type of vinegar so I just use malt vinegar. I let it
stand for a while before I use it. It seems to work. I use it in North
American "biscuits" (kinda like savoury scones) they make a great "pie"
topping and a cauliflower bake I have recently taken to making.

    You can buy buttermilk in my local Sainsbury's, it's on the dairy
