Did I just completely FUBAR my cupcakes? I decided on the spur of the moment to try a new recipe and it called for buttermilk, which I don't keep on hand on a regular basis. I made the buttermilk with vinegar and milk, let it stand... And then gave it two quick stirs and used it.

Was I supposed to just pour it from the cup? All the "recipes" I looked at for making buttermilk said nothing about whether I should or not and let's be honest, it didn't look healthy :-/

Should I just wait out the baking process or scrap them and start over?

Please help!

TIA

Sorry for the ignorance. What's FUBAR?

No, it should be fine. Buttermilk, after all, is just soured milk. Adding the vinegar to the milked "soured" it.

Im not really sure what you are asking but buttermilk doesnt look healthy, it looks gross! I think stirring the milk/vinegar mixture was a good idea if thats what you are asking, if you just left it and then poured the settled mixture into your cake dough there is a chance it would have still had some fresh milk in it but stirring it should have mixed all the vinegar around making it all nice and sour (if there is such a thing as nice sour milk!)
