• NOTE: All you are trying to achieve with the sour milk is the necessary acidity for raising as sour milk reacts differently with baking powder than regular milk. The intention is for the milk to sour, not curdle -- if it curdles slightly it's not a problem. You could achieve the same result substituting an equal amount of buttermilk. However unless you have a use for the rest of a quart of buttermilk, most people prefer to use the lemon method and sour just enough regular milk to use in the recipe. Just add the lemon to the milk while you are getting the dry ingredients ready and it will be just fine.
