You can also use natural or Greek yoghurt as a substitute for buttermilk in this recipe. Just thin it out a little with a drop of water. Alternatively you can add about 1 1/2 tbsps of vinegar or lemon juice to 250ml of regular milk. Stir and let it stand for about 10 minutes before adding it.
All the best
