I found your post in the unanswered post area, I started checking this part of the website recently.

I have the same problem, I have this great substitute recipe for buttermilk.

1 cup milk and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Just mix and let sit about 5-10 minutes.

You could also use vinegar instead of the lemon juice. But I prefer the taste of the lemon in the recipes.

Good Luck

Or you could use any coffee creamer or just heavy cream...

Just plain old heavy cream? What about the acidity that buttermilk has? I have heard of a lot of things, but never just heavy cream.. you learn something new all the time!

For some scratch recipes you do need the acidity not just the moisture.
