Stir, and let sit for five minutes before using. This also works with non-dairy milks. or Whisk a bit of milk or water into plain, unsweetened yogurt until you get a buttermilk-like consistency. The proportion will depend on the thickness of your yogurt, but generally, it'll be around 1/4 liquid with 3/4 cup yogurt.
