Is it possible to use ayran as a substitute for buttermilk I am trying to make homemade ranch sauce I assume It’s not too hard to make buttermilk if I can’t use ayran I tried to translate buttermilk in my language Persian, and it just said ayran I searched multiple supermarkets, and it seems to be completely missing in Iran here is the recipe I made https://rezepte.adminforge.de/recipe/17586/?share=537d7547-a92b-432c-a71b-403b6e236102
In the states Buttermilk is usually substituted with milk with added acid, typically lemon juice.

Which doesn’t taste like buttermilk in any shape or form.
Its the fluffy you get from the chemical reaction.
Maybe they do this for flavor, but I really just think it’s because buttermilk has a reaction to make the pancakes fluffier.
For this purpose the milk/lemon juice trick does what it need to without effecting the flavor negatively.
Edit, forgot they post was about ranch sauce. I know nothing about ranch. Ill get off the Internet now.
I add vinegar to regular milk.
