I have freely substituted yogurt and soured milk products [sour cream,
buttermilk] for each the others for many years.  Yogurt in "buttermilk
biscuits" works great.

The one I learned for camping was to put fruit flavored yogurt with dry
cereal instead of fluid milk.  Spills less and keeps better in the ice
chest.  That was the "Ulfgard Breakfast" for many years.  Yeah, you probably
know that one well but hey, I'm a city kid, it was new to me.
