Substitutions for corn syrup and buttermilk?

Try glucose instead of corn syrup they are interchangeable and should be available there. Also Lyle's Golden Syrup can be used for a more "caramel" flavour.

A substitute for buttermilk I spotted in "Joy of Cooking" is:

1 cup buttermilk = 1 cup yoghurt (I would think the 1.5 - 2 % fat one, since buttermilk is a low-fat dairy product ) Buttermilk is quite runny so choose a yoghurt with a similar texture avoiding thick greek style yoghurt.

Hope that helps

Thanks, Stiko. In fact glucose is indeed available here I'll give it a try.

Glucose has about 20% less water than corn syrup. Depending on the circumstances, you may need to adjust the recipe. You can also use instant dry buttermilk powder instead of the sour milk. I don't know if anyone will ship to Italy, but here is a link

You can add 1 t of vinegar to 1 c sweet milk (this will cause it to curdle, don't worry about that, it's what you want!) and use it as a sub for buttermilk.

Thanks, Jude. That definitely is a possibility here. I'll go for it.

Try asking the storekeeper of groceries and food stores for GLUCOSIO....they should know it as its Italian.

Hi

Try the baking section in the supermarket (flour, yeast etc). It should be there...I'd think
